Abstract

Family food consumption affects the food consumption of young children. The still high number of toddlers who have underweight indicates the need to be investigated for what causes it. In Bandung Regency showed that the number of toddlers with overweight was 1.79%, normal weight of 94.25%, underweight by 3.72%, and weight less body as much as 0.29%. This research was conducted in Mengger Village, Bandung City, using survey methods. Samples were taken by random sampling stratification method with a total of 64 families and analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that the Coping Mechanism effort contributed to the fulfillment of food needs (11%), performance of borrowing a family (63%), selling gold or household appliances (3%), mortgaging goods (6%) and utilizing a yard (8%). The average monthly consumption cost of food (Rp. 5,000,000 - to Rp. 750,000 -) as much as 57%. The biggest influence on the nutritional status of children under five is maternal nutrition knowledge (36.5%). The suggestion given is that the handling of the problem of food security for poor families is through increasing maternal nutrition knowledge and maintaining the preservation of local strength.
