The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between Feeding Practice and the incidence of stunting on Keluarga Harapan Program recipients in Pangkajene and Islands Districts.
Subjects and Method: The type of research used is observational with a cross sectional study design. The independent variable in this study is stunting and the dependent variable are feeding practice, Low Birth Weight and Economic status. The research location was carried out in Pangkajene and Islands Districts.

Results: Incidence of stunting was higher in respondents with irregular feeding practice than in regular feeding practice (OR=0.54; CI 95% 0.33 to 0.91; p=0.024). The incidence of stunting was higher at low birth weight compared to toddlers with normal birth weight (OR= 0.41; CI 95% 0.23to 0.73; p = 0.001). The incidence of stunting is higher in economic status below the provincial minimum wage < Rp. 3,103,800 compared to economic status > Rp. 3,103,800 (OR = 2.25; CI 95% 1.16 to 4.38; p=0.01).
