Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem affecting child growth and development in Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting remains a serious problem, influenced in part by caregiver feeding practices. The study aimed to find the relationship between parenting styles and feeding practices on the incidence of stunting in children aged five years and under. The method was cross-sectional with data collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire. Samples were selected from 150 children aged between 6 and 59 months from five villages in the border area of Argamakmur Health Centre, Arga Makmur, using a cluster sampling technique. Data were analysed applying the chi-square analysis test to find associations between some of the variables studied. The analysis showed statistically significant associations between parenting styles (p value = 0.010) and feeding practices (p value = 0.015) on the incidence of stunting of children aged under five years and below. This study concludes that parenting style and feeding practices have a significant association with the incidence of stunting in children aged five years and below. Therefore, an integrated multisectoral approach is needed in care interventions and feeding practices to prevent stunting in children aged five years and under.
