Chi square test used to bivariate analysis and logistic regression used to multivariate analysis with 5% significance limit and 95% confidence level.Results: Multivariate analysis results that maternal parity and exclusive breastfeeding history was significantly associated with stunting (OR 3,419 (CI 95%: 1.433-8.156); OR 3,706 (CI 95%:1.430-9.605). External variable significantly associated with stunting is maternal occupation OR 2,972 (CI 95%: 1.285-6.874).Conclusion: Maternal parity and exclusive breastfeeding history are significantly associated with stunting in children aged 12-59 months.
The COVID-19 pandemic has already hit almost all countries in the world. Diseases that are transmitted very quickly and often show no symptoms make some people feel scared and anxious.

The anxiety that occurs in nursing mothers will interfere with the process of breastfeeding. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship of anxiety to breastfeeding behavior in nursing mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
