Jenis penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan menggunakan triangulasi sumber kepada informan yang sudah ditentukan dengan cara Purposive Sampling. Informan terdiri dari 2 informan kunci dan 5 informan biasa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan ibu relatif masih rendah disebabkan terbatasnya pengetahuan dalam pengasuhan Balita. Sikap ibu terlihat biasa saja dalam pengasuhan Balita, terlihat dari sikap ibu yang kurang konsisten dalam mengasuh Balita dari pengasuhan makan maupun pengasuhan kesehatan pada Balita. Tindakan dalam pemberian makan dan pengasuhan kesehatan Balita relatif rendah karena ibu hanya mengandalkan pengalaman sebelumnya. Diharapkan kepada ibu dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dengan mengunjungi posyandu setiap bulan, sehingga ibu dapat berkonsultasi mengenai cara pengasuhan Balita yang baik kepada kader maupun petugas gizi setempat
