Jumlah responden penelitian diambil dengan rumus Lemeshow sebanyak 47 ibu yang memiliki anak usia 6-59 bulan di Kelurahan Mergosono Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Arjowinangun. Metode analis mengunakan uji chi square. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan tingkat pengetahuan ibu tentang gizi dengan frekuensi makan balita (p value= 0,090) di Kelurahan Mergosono, tidak ada hubungan tingkat pendidikan ibu balita dengan frekuensi makan balita (p value= 0,461) di Kelurahan Mergosono, tidak ada hubungan tingkat pendidikan ibu balita dengan tingkat pengetahuan (p value= 0,234) di Kelurahan Mergosono, tidak ada hubungan frekuensi makan balita dengan status gizi balita berdasarkan bb/u (p value= 0,377) di Kelurahan Mergosono, tidak ada hubungan tingkat pengetahuan ibu dengan status gizi balita berdasarkan bb/u (p value= 1,00) di Kelurahan Mergosono, tidak ada hubungan tingkat pendidikan ibu balita dengan status gizi balita berdasarkan bb/u (p value= 0,286) di Kelurahan Mergosono. Terdapat faktor penyebab lain yang mempengaruhi status gizi balita sehingga padat dilakukan untuk peneliti selanjutnya
