Abstract

Background and objectives: The linkage between nutrition, exclusive breast feeding, and poor parenting can lead to developmental disorders in children. This study was aimed at finding out the risk factors of developmental delay in children which includes intakes of energy, protein, exclusive breastfeeding, and maternal parenting. Research Method: This study was conducted by using a case control design with a total number of 42 children. Children development was measured by using modified Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire. The intakes of energy and protein were measured by using a 24-hour recall method. The data were then analyzed through logistic regression test with a p-value of <0.05. Results: 25.3% of children suffer from developmental delay. The risk factors to the children development are exclusive breastfeeding (Odd Ratio (OR)= 8.92; 95% confidence interval (CI)= 1.33-59.66), energy intake (OR= 35.63;95% CI= 3.20-396.25) and maternal parenting (OR= 14.94; 95% CI= 1.49-149.65). Conclusion: inadequate energy intake, non-exclusive breastfeeding, and poor maternal parenting are risk factors to the delayed development of pre-school children. Key words: child development, energy intake, exclusive breastfeeding, maternal parenting
