The sampling technique used was non-probability sampling, by directly interviewing mothers of children under five about the knowledge of child feeding using a questionnaire and measuring the development of stunting under five with a pre-screening development questionnaire according to the age group. Data analysis used univariate analysis. The results showed that the mother's knowledge about child feeding was still not good at 57.8%. Meanwhile, the results of measuring the development of stunting toddlers are in the dubious category of 62.2%. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the knowledge possessed by mothers of toddlers about child feeding is classified as poor, and the development of stunting toddlers is categorized as dubious.

Based on the results of bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, namely nutrition-aware family behavior, complementary feeding, and food security <0.05, which shows there is a relationship with the incidence of stunting. The results of multivariate analysis using the logistic regression test are that there are no variables that contribute most to the incidence of stunting. However, based on the results of the OR calculation <1, which means that the three variables are protective factors for the incidence of stunting. There is a significant relationship between nutrition-conscious family behavior, complementary feeding and food security with the incidence of stunting, there is no variable that contributes most to the incidence of stunting because all variables are protective factors.For health workers at Kamipura Health Center to be more active in providing education related to nutrition-conscious family behavior, complementary feeding and food security to mothers of toddlers and further researchers to further examine these three variables and other variables.
