Retrieval of data was done using questionnaires and structured interviews. Statistical calculation performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square test. The result showed that there was no correlation between maternal knowledge with BB/U (p=0,056), though there was a correlation between maternal attitudes with BB/U (p=0,000) and maternal behaviors with BB/U (p=0,000). It is concluded that there was significant correlation between attitudes and behavior of mothers with nutritional status of children aged 6-23 months.
