Abstract
Introduction: Despite the plentiful availability of protein from fish and other essential food sources in coastal communities, coastal communities still face the issue of undernutrition. This study aimed to assess the association between feeding practices among toddlers and the incidence of stunting in the coastal area.

We assessed the feeding patterns (feeding practice, food quality, and food safety) of 90 children aged 24–59 months using a structured questionnaire. We generated frequencies and percentages and ran a bivariate test to determine factors associated with stunting using the Chi-Square test
