Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in children caused by a lack of nutritional intake for a long time, resulting in growth disorders. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors of maternal education on stunting in two year old baby. The type of research used is quantitative with an observational analytic approach with Case Control research design. The population is mothers who have two year old baby and the sample is 46 people consisting of 23 cases and 23 controls and the sampling technique is purposive sampling. Data from the questionnaire will be processed using the SPSS program. Univariate analysis to determine the frequency distribution, bivariate analysis using chi-square test. The education of mothers who are at high risk and stunting are 13 two year old baby(59.1%) and those who are at high risk and normal are 15 two year old baby(62.5%), while the education of mothers who are at low risk and stunting are 9 two year old baby(40.9 %) and 9 children with low and normal risk (37.5%). The results of the Bivariate analysis show that the p-value is 1,000, which means that there is no relationship between maternal education and the incidence of stunting in two year old baby OR = 0.867, which means that low maternal education is a protective factor against stunting in two year old baby. The formal educational background of pregnant women is not a risk factor for stunting, but it is necessary to educate the level of knowledge related to pregnancy problems and two year old baby child care.
