Abstract

Adequate nutrition in children is determined by appropriate feeding patterns by parents. Based on previous studies, although the father said that his figure greatly influences the fulfillment of toddler nutrition, but because it has become a tradition that the father is in charge of fulfilling a living and the mother takes care of everything at home including taking care of the children, so that fathers have less opportunity to meet nutritional needs until they are actually consumed by children. Objective to determine the relationship between father's participation and mother's practice in feeding toddlers at Posyandu Melati, Bundelan Village.
