Abstract

Based on data from the Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) 2022 across 33 provinces, the stunting rate decreased from 24.4% in 2021 to 21.6% in 2022, showing a decline of 2.8%. In the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), the prevalence of stunting among children under five in 2022 was 16.4%. Specifically, the prevalence of short stature among children under five in Sleman Regency was 15% (Ministry of Health RI, 2022). Parenting-related behaviors, particularly inadequate or poor feeding practices, are also contributing factors to stunting. This includes limited maternal knowledge about fulfilling nutritional needs during pregnancy, as well as the nutritional preparation required before conception (Evy, 2021). This study aims to determine the relationship between adolescent mothers’ feeding practices and the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This study employed correlational design with cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 32 adolescent mothers who had children aged 12–36 months and were registered at Puskesmas (Community Health Center) Sleman. The results showed that among the toddlers of adolescent mothers, 22 were not stunted, while 10 experienced stunting. In terms of feeding practices, both poor and good practices were reported equally, with 16 respondents each. The Chi-Square test yielded an Asymp. Sig. value of 0.002 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between adolescent mothers’ feeding practices and stunting incidence. It is recommended that further research be conducted with broader coverage and more diverse variables to enhance understanding of the relationship between adolescent mothers’ feeding practices and stunting in toddlers.
