ABSTRACT 
The World Health Organization defines autonomy as the ability to make decision without being influenced by anyone else (WHO, 2013). Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being of an individual. Low status of women seems to be closely related to the low nutritional status of children, not having the right to decide what your children needs to eat, when to eat, when to visit the health centre etc. (WHO, 2008). The 2013 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) data is being used for the analysis of this study. The target population for this study is women from age 15-49 years of age who are currently married which was collected by the Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) 2013. Three levels of analysis were employed for the study at univariate, bivariate and multi variatelevels, also Chi-Square and Binary Logistic Regression were used to test the hypothesis. Mothers with high and average autonomy are more likely to give their children nutritious food, take them for immunization and have a good source of hygiene than mothers with low autonomy. Mothers who are working are 0.5% more likely to feed their children nutritiously compared to mothers who are not working. The study therefore suggests that women should be empowered and supported, early marriage should be discouraged.
