Abstract	A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design without a control group was undertaken on 60 mothers selected by purposive sampling to assess the effectiveness of a teaching program on the home management of low-birth-weight (LBW) babies. Results revealed that 47% of the mothers were in the age group of 21-25 years, and 46% were in the age group of 26-30 years. The overall mean knowledge score in the pretest was 13.34±3.25, while in the posttest it was 24.18±3.09, revealing a 31.89% increase in knowledge scores.
