Stunting is a nutritional problem that hinders the growth process of toddlers. Toddler stunting has a negative impact that will last in the next life. According to UNICEF (2011), the nutritional status of children can be directly affected by factors, namely gender and low birth weight. Indirect factors, namely health status, infectious diseases/ Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), diarrhea with low family income, parenting patterns, and not exclusive breastfeeding. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, family income, and infectious diseases with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months in the Mangasa Health Center Work Area in 2020. This was a case control study involving a total of 30 stunted and non-stunded children in each. The independent variables were low birth weight breastfeeding exclusive, family income, and infectious diseases, while the dependent variable is stunting. The study results show that children with low birth weight were like to have stunting 5.7 times than normal birth weight (p=0.007). Similarly, children with formula and mixed feeding were likely to have stunting 5 times (p=0.015) than exclusively breastfed children. Poor family income and the presence of infectious disease were also contributed to stunting (OR= 7; p= 0.025, OR= 5.7, p= 0.007, respectively). In conclusion, the family income variable is the variable that has the most incidence of stunting among children aged 24 – 59 months.
Stunting merupakan permasalahan terkait gizi kronis yang diderita oleh balita. Rata-rata prevalensi balita stunting di Indonesia tahun 2005-2017 mencapai angka 36,4%. Salah satu penyebab kejadian tersebut disebabkan oleh kekurangan zat nutrisi. Seorang ayah adalah sosok penting dan utama dalam menjalankan peran pencegahan dan pengendalian kejadian stunting, terutama dalam pemenuhan zat anak. Kesetaraan gender menunjukkan peranan yang seimbang antara laki-laki dalam kegiatan produktif dan reproduktif. Seorang ayah perlu menyadari peranannya dalam meningkatkan gizi keluarga dan berperan langsung dalam kegiatan reproduktif pencegahan stunting. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Tamalate Kota Makassar mulai Juli s/d Agustus 2022. Pihak yang terkait dalam kegiatan ini adalah Bidan Koordinator Puskesmas Tamalate, Kader Kesehatan, Ketua RT dan para “ayah” di Posyandu Asoka 3 Kelurahan Parang Tambung Kecamatan Tamalate sebanyak 25 orang. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada kegiatan ini adalah pendekatan edukatif dengan upaya peningkatan pengetahuan para ayah dengan memberikan informasi tentang dampak dan penyebab stunting, cara pencegahan serta penyiapan nutrisi anak melalui pembuatan Makanan Pendamping-ASI. Peserta sangat antusias mengikuti kegiatan Kelas Ayah sampai selesai. Berdasarkan hasil pretest-posttest menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan dalam mempersembahkan MP-ASI. Kegiatan Kelas Ayah dapat direkomendasikan sebagai salah satu cara untuk mencegah terjadinya stunting.

Toddler period is an important phase in the growth and development of children. The role of parents, especially mothers, is needed to help children develop motor skills so that children's development can be maximized. The objective of this study is to analyze the mother's role in stimulating the child's motor development. The research method is cross sectional. The population in this study were mothers who had children aged 1-3 years in the work area of the Mangasa Primary Health Center, Makassar, amounting to 45 people. The sample in this study was 45 people, taken with a saturated sampling technique or the total population. The statistical test used the chi square test. The results presented that 95.7% of mothers who played a role in stimulating children's motor development had children whose development was appropriate. The results of the chi square test obtained p value <0.001. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between mother's role in stimulation and the motor development of toddler. It is expected that the Primary Health Center or midwives will provide training to mothers about providing developmental stimulation so that mothers can independently assess their child's development and pay attention to their child's development according to age.
