Caregivers feeding style is one of the efforts in preventing malnutrition. It not only fills the nutrition needs to grow but also, psychologically, fills the affection that will support the child’s growth and development. The purpose of this study is to know the feeding style to the children and the influencing factors. This article is a further analysis based on research data conducted in 2019, a selected sub-district in Wonosobo, Central Java with a cross-sectional study design. A total of 402 mothers participated in this study. The participating mothers had to meet certain criteria, such as having a child whose age was between 6 and 20 months, the care was carried out by the biological mother. Caregiver’s Feeding Styles Questionnaire was applied to collect data. Chi Square and logistic regression were employed to analyse the data. The study showed that caregiver feeding style was classified as follows: authoritarian type 59.0%; democratic 33.6%; permissive 3.7% and uninvolved 3.7%. There was a significant relationship between maternal educations, the child’s age and caregiver feeding style. The result of logistic regression test showed that maternal education was related to the parenting style. Mother with high education was considered to have a democratic parenting with OR score 3.4. After being controlled with the child’s age within the category more than 12 months, in the age category for more than 12 months, it showed that the OR score was 1.9. This can be concluded that the authoritarian (non-adaptive) style was the most commonly feeding type found in this study. The influencing factor to the caregiver feeding style is the maternal education and the children’s age. Increasing knowledge with attention, guidance and education to mothers are imperative in changing / improving good parenting patterns as a compensation for the lack of formal mother education.
