Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Inadequate nutritional intake can hinder the growth and development of toddlers, particularly those suffering from stunting. One strategy to address stunting is to improve toddler nutrition by providing foods rich in omega-3, protein, and calcium, such as catfish. BABY CHIPS PROKA, made from catfish bone flour, is one such complementary feeding innovation. This study aims to investigate the effect of BABY CHIPS PROKA, a catfish bone-based complementary food product, on the weight gain of stunted toddlers. Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach using a true experimental design with a two-group pre-post control test. The population consisted of 333 stunted toddlers. A cluster sampling technique was applied, resulting in a sample of 68 toddlers, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Statistical analysis included the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to assess differences before and after the intervention within each group. Results: The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a significant difference in weight gain in the intervention group (p = <0.001 < 0.05). Conclusion: The provision of BABY CHIPS PROKA as a complementary food significantly improves the body weight of stunted toddlers. Therefore, BABY CHIPS PROKA is recommended as a complementary nutritional intervention to support weight gain and improve the nutritional status of stunted toddlers.
