Stunting represents a child's failure to thrive. On the basis of the World Health Organization child growth standards, stunting is a height of <-2 SD of the z-score for the child's age. There are several major causes of stunting. One is the inability to optimize child feeding practices. The aim of this study was to explore the feeding practices that lead to stunting in toddlers in Jakarta. The participants in this study were 15 mothers. Content analysis was the method that was chosen for this study. The data analysis revealed four themes that describe the feeding practices for toddlers with stunting in Jakarta: i) mothers providing instant porridge and ready-to-serve steamed chicken rice; ii) a feeding frequency of small portions only 2-3 times per day; iii) a lack of diet diversity; and iv) the suboptimal intake of iron-rich foods. The provision of effective education about appropriate feeding practices to pregnant women and mothers with toddlers is expected to reduce the incidence of stunting in Indonesia.
发育迟缓表现为儿童生长发育不良。根据世界卫生组织儿童生长标准，发育迟缓是指儿童身高低于其年龄对应的z评分的-2标准差。发育迟缓有几个主要原因。一是无法优化儿童喂养方式。本研究的目的是探讨导致雅加达幼儿发育迟缓的喂养方式。本研究的参与者为15名母亲。本研究选择的方法是内容分析法。数据分析揭示了四个主题，描述了雅加达发育迟缓幼儿的喂养方式：i）母亲提供即食粥和即食蒸鸡肉饭；ii）每天仅分2 - 3次少量喂食；iii）饮食缺乏多样性；iv）富含铁的食物摄入不足。预计向孕妇和有幼儿的母亲提供关于适当喂养方式的有效教育，将降低印度尼西亚发育迟缓的发生率。
