Abstract

[ADEQUATE OF NUTRITION TO STUNTING TODDLERS] Currently, Indonesia has problems with the nutritional intake of children under five which can increase the risk of childhood morbidity. This research is a phenomenological study with a qualitative descriptive approach to assessing the nutritional fulfillment of stunting toddlers. The number of samples used was 5 mothers of stunting toddlers as the main informants, 1 cadre, and 1 midwife as data triangulation. The results showed that inadequate nutrition was the strongest factor influencing the incidence of stunting in Kincang Village. The pattern of feeding with MP-ASI also affects the incidence of stunting. Most of the respondents provide food that is not by the nutritional needs of children.
