Abstract

Indonesian toddlers consume less micronutrients than RDA, and parental involvement is crucial because parents may control food and provide an example. This study examined children’s iron and vitamin C intake in North Jakarta with a total sample of 191 caregivers and children. The children’s iron and vitamin C intake was assessed using 2x24h food recall interviews. The Child Feeding Questionnaire evaluated parental feeding patterns. The research studied the correlation between child feeding behaviours with iron and vitamin C intakes. Monitoring were the only variable correlated to iron and vitamin C Sumptionion (p<0.01).
