Masa batita adalah masa emas dan kritis yang perlu dioptimalkan dalam melakukan stimulasi perkembangan agar keterlambatan perkembangan dapat dicegah, terutama oleh ibu yang secara emosional lebih dekat dengan anak. Fenomena keterlambatan perkembangan anak di Indonesia masih terjadi karena kurangnya stimulasi saat usia batita, terutama anak di daerah pedesaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran stimulasi perkembangan batita oleh ibu. Desain penelitian ini deskriptif sederhana dengan metode consecutive sampling terhadap 92 ibu di Desa Jungjang Kecamatan Arjawinangun, Cirebon. Hasilnya, lebih banyak ibu yang sering melakukan stimulasi perkembangan pada aspek bicara dan bahasa serta sosialisasi kemandirian (51,1 % dan 51,1 %) daripada aspek motorik kasar dan motorik halus (43,5 % dan 44,6 %), dan berdasarkan keseluruhan aspek perkembangan, lebih banyak ibu yang jarang melakukan stimulasi (51,1 %) dibandingkan ibu yang sering melakukan stimulasi (48,9 %). Disarankan bagi tenaga kesehatan terutama perawat anak agar mengoptimalkan edukasi mengenai stimulasi perkembangan anak pada ibu-ibu di pedesaan.
