Data were collected on nutritional aspects of women in general and during special time frames such as pregnancy, lactation and common childhood illnesses (diarrhea, acute respiratory infections and measles) from rural areas in Bangladesh. A distinctive gender bias was evident regarding decision making and food allocation within the household. Inadequate feeding practices were observed during diarrhea with 22.2% of the mothers discontinuing breast-feeding. Breast-feeding and nutritional support were comparatively better during ARI and measles. When the children were ill, 97% of the mothers administered a special diet with a variety of food preferences, which were perceived to improve the symptoms of the respective illness. Maternal education influenced both the occurrence of diarrhea and the nutritional management of diarrhea and measles significantly. Therefore, community health education should focus on the importance of breast-feeding and continued nutritional support during illnesses. In order for this health education to be effective, traditional beliefs noted in this study have to be incorporated.
