Difficulty eating conditions is a problem in providing food as an effort to meet nutritional intake in children and toddlers. One of the causes of children having difficulty eating is digestive problems. Vomiting, spilling food and brushing off bites are symptoms of a child not having an appetite.

Tui Na massage is a massage technique to overcome eating difficulties in toddlers by improving blood circulation in the spleen and digestion. This type of research is a Pre-Experimental Design with One Group Pretest-Postest Design, namely by comparing 1 group with 2 treatments, namely observing the frequency of appetite for toddlers before and after being given Tui Na massage.
