Abstract

Good and healthy nutritional conditions during infancy are an important foundation for future health. Malnutrition that occurs during this period can disrupt growth and development. Good knowledge will create good attitudes, which in turn, if these attitudes are deemed appropriate, good behavior will also emerge. The aim of this study was to explore of mother’s knowledge with stunting children at the Leuwisari Public Health Center in Tasikmalaya Regency. Cross-sectional was used in the study design. The results obtained a p-value of 0.000, indicating that there was a relationship between maternal knowledge about nutrition and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 6-23 months. It can be concluded that mothers' knowledge of stunting was poor. It is recommended that health workers need increase education to the public about the nutritious food that is specifically for toddlers.
