ABSTRACT Background: Diarrhea contributed to 8.8% of the average death per 1000 births as a cause of child mortality in children under 5 years old in the Southeast Asian region in 2016. This disease is influenced by many factors, including hygiene and sanitation of eating and drinking utensils. As many as 75% of infants in developing countries are bottle fed, but the contribution of hygiene and water sources is unknown. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between feeding bottle hygiene and water sources with the incidence of diarrhea in children aged 6-24 months in the work area of Puskesmas Kenali Besar Kota Jambi on 2020. Methods: This study is an analytical observation survey with a Case Control approach. This study uses the help of a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. A total of 80 samples were involved in this study. Results: Factors that influence the relationship between feeding bottle hygiene and diarrhea are how to wash bottles, use of soap, use of special brushes, sterilization of milk bottles, storage of milk bottles and based on the use of water sources where more respondents used water that was not refilled as many as 55 people (68.8 %). The physical quality of the water used by the respondents was cloudy as many as 18 samples (22.5%) and smelly as many as 4 samples (5.0%). The bacteriological quality of the water used by the respondents was positive for Lactose Broth (LB) as many as 33 samples (41.3%) and the positive for Brilliant Green Lactose Bile Broth (BGLBB) were 29 samples (36.3%). Conclusion: The researcher concluded that the use of soap and how to store milk bottles and water sources were the causes of diarrhea in toddlers.
