The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of the Maternal and Child Health Handbook with child development. The method used is Qualitative research. This study uses the in-depth interview method to find problems more openly. Participants in this study were mothers of toddlers. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling technique so that the participants could represent the characteristics of a population of 10 people. The results obtained by pregnant women who have a negative attitude tend not to use the Maternal and Child Health handbook properly and the theme of developmental disturbances for toddlers is that toddlers have unclear speech, and for other developments, there are no problems.
