Abstract

Stunting remains a chronic nutritional issue in Indonesia, particularly among children under the age of two. Two crucial factors influencing stunting status are birth weight and exclusive breastfeeding. This study aims to determine the correlation between birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, and stunting in children aged 6–24 months. This study employed an analytical quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 120 children aged 6–24 months and their mothers were selected using purposive sampling at Deket Community Health Center Lamongan. Data were collected through interviews using structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. Data analysis was conducted using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The analysis revealed a significant association between birth weight and stunting (p = 0.003), and a significant association between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting (p = 0.001). Children with low birth weight (<2500 grams) had a 3.1 times higher risk of stunting, while children who were not exclusively breastfed had a 2.7 times higher risk of stunting compared to those who were exclusively breastfeed. Although the study provides valuable insights, its cross-sectional nature limits causal interpretation, and recall bias may have affected the accuracy of reported breastfeeding practices. Despite these limitations, the findings underscore the need for strengthened prenatal and breastfeeding interventions to prevent stunting. Birth weight and exclusive breastfeeding are significantly associated with stunting in children aged 6–24 months. Promotive and preventive interventions through pregnancy monitoring and breastfeeding education are crucial efforts in preventing stunting.

Abstract

Stunting is a persistent public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in rural communities, and is influenced by caregiving practices and dietary patterns. This study aimed to analyze the association between parenting practices, supplementary feeding (PMT), and the incidence of stunting among children aged 6–59 months in Gedungboyountung Village. A cross-sectional analytic design was conducted from June to August 2025 with 60 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Parenting and feeding practices were assessed using structured questionnaires, while stunting was determined based on height-for-age z-scores. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The findings showed that 8.3% (5 children) were stunted. A significant association was observed between parenting practices and stunting (p = 0.028), indicating that children raised with poor parenting were more likely to be stunted. Supplementary feeding was also significantly associated with stunting (p = 0.014), with inappropriate or low-quality feeding practices increasing the risk of growth faltering. These results suggest that stunting in rural areas is strongly linked to behavioral and caregiving factors, especially the adequacy of food provision and the quality of parenting.  Strengthening community-based health education programs to improve parenting skills and ensure appropriate supplementary feeding may serve as effective strategies to reduce stunting prevalence. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longitudinal approaches are recommended to confirm these findings and to explore additional determinants such as socioeconomic conditions, maternal education, and sanitation.
