Abstract

Nutritional issues in children aged 0-59 months are critical, as this age group is particularly vulnerable to dietary changes affecting nutritional status. Weaning, defined as the transition from breastfeeding to solid foods, and maternal knowledge are considered key factors influencing child nutrition. This study aims to examine the impact of weaning age and maternal knowledge on the nutritional status of children aged 0-59 months in the Johan Pahlawan Public Health Center area. A cross-sectional design with simple random sampling was used, involving 95 respondents. Data collection included questionnaires and nutritional status measurements. Chi-Square analysis revealed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and child nutritional status (p=0.009), while no significant relationship was found between weaning age and nutritional status (p=0.126). These findings suggest that enhanced maternal knowledge plays a crucial role in improving child nutritional outcomes, whereas weaning age does not have a significant effect.

Abstract

Providing supplementary food made from local ingredients is an effective way to address nutritional issues among toddlers. In Desa Rundeng, toddlers are underweight due to poor dietary habits, such as frequent consumption of fast food and insufficient intake of fruits, vegetables, milk, and other nutritious foods. Additionally, mothers in the area have limited knowledge about preparing balanced supplementary foods to support toddler growth. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the provision of supplementary food for toddlers in Desa Rundeng. A quantitative descriptive research method was employed, with univariate and bivariate data analysis, conducted in May in Desa Rundeng, Aceh Barat, within the Johan Pahlawan Health Center area. A total of 68 respondents participated in the study. The results indicate that knowledge, attitude, income, and socio-cultural factors significantly affect the provision of supplementary food, as evidenced by a p-value < 0.05. These findings highlight the importance of educating mothers on the nutritional value of supplementary foods to ensure the healthy growth and development of toddlers.
