<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Stunting is a measure obtained on a child's nutritional status based on his height which is determined by the comparison of the heights of children of his age. Factors causing stunting are mothers' lack of knowledge about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and the providing of early weaning foods. This study aims to analyze the influence of mothers' knowledge about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and early weaning food feeding on the incidence of stunting at the X District Health Center, West Jakarta. This research is a quantitative study with a logistic regression model using a cross-sectional approach. The data collection method used was distributing questionnaires. The sampling technique in this research used purposive sampling with 71 respondents. The results of the univariate analysis showed that 48 (67.6%) respondents had less knowledge about giving exclusive breastfeeding, 45 (63.4%) had less knowledge about providing weaning foods, 23 (32.4%) had stunted toddlers in the short category (stunted) and stunted toddlers in the very short category (severely stunted) were 31 (43.7%).The results of the mann-whitney analysis test with the condition that it is significant if the p-value < 0.05 shows that there is a significant influence between knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of stunting (p-value = 0.002) and knowledge about the providing of providing early weaning foods with the incidence of stunting (p-value = 0.001).
