Abstract

The objectives of this study were to identify health and nutritional knowledge of mothers, mother's behavior in caring toddler health, and to analyze pregnancy intentions with mother's behaviors in caring toddlers' health. The data of descriptive quantitative research were collected through cognitive test, interviews, and analyzed by Spearman's rho and t-test. Results showed that mothers' nutrition and health knowledge are categorized as fair. The mothers' behaviors of caring toddler health are categorized as good. Mothers with planned pregnancy provided breastfeeding and complementary feeding are better than those with unplanned pregnancy.
