Abstract

Feeding difficulties in children is the lack of appetite or inability to eat and refuse certain foods. Feeding difficulties can be caused by several factors, specifically organic and non-organic factors. Feeding difficulties will be at high-risk of causing nutritional problems if not treated as they get older. The objective of this study is to determine the nutritional status of children aged 6 to 24 months who have feeding difficulties in the working area of the North Cimahi Primary Health Care Centre. This study was cross sectional and conducted in January 2018. The sample consisted of 48 children who had feeding difficulties. This study used questionnaires data and also measures children’s height and weight. The data was analysed descriptively. The results showed that the average age of children who have feeding difficulties in the working area of the North Cimahi Primary Health Care Centre was 15,40 months. The majority of children who have feeding difficulties were males (54,2%). The types of nutritional status in children who have feeding difficulties ranged from normal (70,8%) to malnutrition (27,1%) and severe malnutrition (2,1%). The types of feeding difficulties were inappropriate feeding practice (81,3%), parental misperception (16,7%), and sensory food aversions (2,1%).
