Abstract
The world was shocked by Covid-19 (Coronavirus Diseases-19) pandemic at the end of 2019. The virus attacked the average person aged 49 years, while few cases were found in under-five children. Despite the fact that under-five can still be infected by Covid-19. It was very important for under-five to get foods rich of nutrients to boost immune system in preventing Covid-19 infection. The pandemic threatens normal life, forcing parents and caregivers to adapt in term of feeding pattern. This study aims to obtain a clearer description related to feeding pattern in under-five children before and during Covid-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional design was used in this study. Online questionnaires were distributed among mothers or caregivers of under-five children across provinces in Indonesia. Statistical data were analyzed by Mc Nemar test. There were no significant differences between feeding pattern before and during the Covid-19 pandemic (p> 0.05)
