Design: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from April–July, 2020, at a health-care facility in Dodoma City. Methods: Haemoglobin concentration was measured by using HemoCue Hb 201+analyser machine. Anaemia was defined as haemoglobin concentration of <11 g/dl. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify the cor-relates of anaemia. Results: The overall prevalence of postpartum anaemia was found to be 21.6% (83). Correlates of anaemia were found to be multiple birth (AOR = 4.97), consumption of pulses (AOR = 2.07), normal BMI (AOR = 2.28) and perception of insufficient milk supply (AOR = 3.05).Conclusion: The prevalence of postpartum anaemia found in this study is high. Iron and folic acid supplementation, promotion of dietary diversification practices and screening women higher risk for anaemia may be feasible interventions
