Relationship between LBW History and Mother's Parenting Patterns with Stunting Incidents in Toddlers

Abstract

The problem of stunting describes chronic nutritional problems, which are influenced by the condition of the mother or pregnant woman, the fetus, and the baby or toddler, including illnesses suffered during childhood. Birth weight is an important indicator to determine the health, nutritional and socioeconomic status of people in developed and developing countries. The role of the family, especially the mother in caring for the child, greatly determines the nutritional status and quality of child development. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), parenting is one of the indirect factors related to children's nutritional status, including stunting. This literature aims to determine the relationship between maternal parenting and low birth weight with the incidence of stunting in toddlers. The method used is a literature review with a Narrative Review design. The results obtained in this lietratur are that there are 20 articles obtained with limits from 2018 - 2020 and an in-depth analysis of the strengths and limitations of each article has been carried out regarding the relationship of LBW and maternal parenting with the incidence of stunting. 14 articles on LBW found that infants smaller 2500 g and infants with preterm birth had a significant association with the incidence of stunting with a mean odds ratio of 3-12 times the risk of stunting. The other 6 articles found that mothers with poor parenting in the practice of feeding habits, parenting habits, hygiene habits and health care habits influenced the incidence of stunting in children under five with p value smaller 0.05. The conclusion from this literature, there is a significant relationship between poor parenting patterns of mothers and low birth weight babies with the incidence of stunting
