				<abstract><![CDATA[Background: Stunting remains one of the most significant nutritional challenges, alongside wasting, underweight, and obesity, that threaten children&#039;s growth and development. In Indonesia, fathers’ involvement in parenting is still relatively low. Parenting patterns in which mothers are solely responsible, without involving fathers, can negatively affect a child&#039;s nutritional status due to insufficient monitoring. This study aims to analyze the association between father involvement in feeding and the prevalence of stunting in children aged 24-59 months in families in Jember Regency.Materials and Methods: This research employed a descriptive analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected using the Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) questionnaire to assess the level of fathers’ involvement in feeding, while stunting status was measured using a digital scale and a microtoise. The sample consisted of 212 father-child pairs, with the unit of analysis being the father-child pair. A stratified random sampling technique was applied across villages and posyandu. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test to determine the unadjusted bivariate associations between variables.Results: The research findings indicate that 52% of fathers have low involvement in feeding their children. Among the children, 70.8% were classified as stunted (-3 ≤ HAZ &lt; -2), categorized as severely stunted (HAZ &lt; -3). The unadjusted bivariate chi-square test revealed a significant association (χ^2 = 5.599; p-value = 0.018).Conclusion: This study provides evidence of a protective association between fathers’ involvement in child feeding practices and stunting status, underscoring the need for education and empowerment programs targeting fathers as a strategy to reduce stunting.]]></abstract>
