The study sample consisted of 100 respondents (mothers) and 103 subjects (infants). Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Frequency tables and chi-square were used to test hypotheses at 95% level of confidence. Results indicated that there was a significant relationship between family income, marital status, maternal level of education, parity, number of pregnancies, maternal age, number of maternal antenatal clinic visits and infants low birth weight. Two variables of family income and maternal antenatal clinic visits were found to be statistically significant.
