<![CDATA[Background : Stunting has been a global health concern. The long-term consequences of stunting include high mortality and morbidity rates, suboptimal cognitive development, especially during school age, reduced work productivity, and future metabolic issues. Family income is a multidimensional factor. Additionally, the gap in knowledge regarding feeding remains a major issue. Objectives: The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between knowledge about complementary feeding and family income with the incidence of stunting. Method : This type of research uses a quantitative analytical observational method with a cross sectional design. 45 mother who met the selection criteria to participate in this study were obtained by simple random sampling technique. Result: The results of the univariate analysis showed that some respondents had less knowledge about complementary feeding (46.7%), some respondents had low income (55.6%) and the majority of stunting respondents 26 (57.8%). The results of bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square statistical test found a significant relationship between maternal knowledge (p=0.002) and family income (p=0.001) with the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: Objectives: The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between knowledge about complementary feeding and family income with the incidence of stunting.]]>
