The type of research is qualitative research. The study was conducted in several villages in the working area of Lumut Health Center, Lumut Sub-district, and Tapanuli Tengah Regency. The results showed that the lack of knowledge of children mothers due to low maternal education, so that mothers do not understand about malnutrition and the benefits of health care facilities. Low family income factors cause mothers to not provide proper and varied food for the family.
