Abstract
Biscuits are additional food for toddlers. Biscuits on the market are biscuits that contain trans fatty acids which are less safe for toddlers to consume. Because it is necessary to create biscuits that are safe for toddlers to consume by adding fish oil in their manufacture, then biscuits can be given to children who are malnourished. Applications for biscuits are 50 grams/day for children whose body weight is less than WHO standards, 40 grams/day for children whose body weight is less than WHO standards, and 30 grams/day for children whose body weight is according to WHO standards. Every week (for 8 weeks) a toddler’s body weight is measured, as well as observing motor, cognitive, language and social emotional development. Based on the initial weight of the child without the addition of biscuits, it is known 33.3% have a normal weight gain and 66.3% have a late weight gain. After biscuit administration, it was found that weight gain was in a better direction, with 87.4% having a normal weight according to their age and the remaining 13.6% still having late weight development, children whose initial weight was very less than WHO standards. Weight gain is greatly influenced by the number of biscuits given to toddlers. So anatomically, growth will occur in a child’s body structure that increases proportionately with age. A lack of initial body weight will hinder the rate of weight gain of the child, can directly inhibit the growth of the child, as a result the proportion of the body structure of the child is not following their age which in the end it will have implications for other developments. Growth that occurs will affect the development of gross motor and fine motor skills, cognitive, language, and social-emotional toddlers.
