The study's objective is to equip politicians, healthcare professionals, and educators with information they can use to create interventions that are more focused and long-lasting to find suitable practices of adaptation for overcoming nourishment among children during floods. Design/Methodology/Approach: To develop a thorough understanding of adaption methods for child feeding, the study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Female community health volunteers (FCHVs), mothers, and caregivers participated in semi-structured interviews and focus groups where information was obtained. The study also included prior research to give background and a framework for analysis. The area was selected from a highly flood-affected area of Nepal. Data were collected through home visits and in-depth interviews taken with 3-5 years Childrens’ households’ mothers or caregivers. Children's weight height and Mid Upper Arms circumference (MUAC) were measured. Findings/Result: The results of the study reveal a field adaptive approach utilized to handle issues with infant nutrition. Dietary changes, nutrition education that was sensitive to cultural differences, community-based initiatives, legislative measures, and cutting-edge technological advances were all part of the discipline. The study identifies both successful and unsuccessful tactics. Originality/Value: This is the empirical research to recommend a pragmatic solution for nourishment issues among flood-affected children of Nepal. Paper Type: Research paper
