The number of sample was calculated with proportional sampling. To compare the nutrients adequacy and the history of exclusive breastfeeding, Chi-square test and Exact Fisher were used, to compare amount of intake, Independent T-test and Odds Ratio were calculated. As a result, there was a difference in energy, protein, zinc and iron consumption, and there was also a difference in history of exclusive breastfeeding between stunting and non-stunting toddler (p = 0.000), Non stunting toddler have a higher intake of energy, protein, zinc, and iron than stunting toddler. Toddler with non exclusive breastfeeding have a higher risk to be stunting than toddler with exclusive breastfeeding, and toddler who have inadequate energy, protein, zinc, and iron intake have a higher risk to be stunting than toddler with adequate energy, protein, zinc and iron intake (non-exclusive breastfeeding = 16.5 times, inadequate energy = 4.84 times, inadequate protein = 3.4 times, inadequate zinc = 3.72 times, inadequate iron = 2.36 times).
