Objectives The main objective of this study is to examine the breast feeding and complementary feeding practices among farming communities of Southern Ethiopia. Methods The study used primary data collected from 1094 households located in ten kebeles (the smallest administrative segment) through the multi stage probability sampling technique. Information on demography of breast feeding was measured by universally accepted computational tools given by WHO. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistical techniques. Result The result demonstrated that a large proportion of respondents were breast feeding their last child (age Conclusion The study concluded that there are positive signs on infant and child feeding practices which should be promoted such as the relatively higher rate of exclusive breastfeeding during the first half of infancy and continued breastfeeding through the second year of life and beyond. There are also certain practices that require attention which include the widespread use of bottles, delayed introduction of complementary foods, and low dietary diversity throughout the first two years of life.
