Methodology: it applies analytical observational study with case control design in which the case group is stunting babies while control group is non-stunting babies. Finding p value of energy intake is 0,010 with value of OR for 1,664, protein intake is 0,000 with value of OR for 2,172, parenting is 0,000 with value of OR for 4,714 and status of health is 0,096. Conclusion: There is influence of energy and protein intake as well as parenting on stunting incident at babies aged 12 to 36 months at Puskesmas of Tilango, Sub-district of Tilango, District of Gorontalo. There is no influence of health status on stunting incident at babies aged 12 to 36 months at Puskesmas of Tilango, Sub-district of Tilango, District of Gorontalo.
