Abstract


Mother's milk companion food (MP-ASI) is a complementary food to meet the nutritional needs of infants under five after six months of age. In practice there are still many Indonesian people giving MP-ASI at less than six months. This is what causes high incidence of infections such as diarrhea, airway infections, allergies to growth disorders. The high incidence of infection has an impact on the decline of the health of infants toddlers so that nutritional needs are not optimal that lead to stunting cases. Based on the results of basic health research in 2018, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is 30.8% and is still quite far from the WHO target of 20%. One of the causes of high stunting cases in Indonesia is the lack of mother's knowledge of her child's nutritional needs. Therefore, a promotive and preventive effort is needed by providing education the importance of giving MPASI, especially in the Golden Age period aged 6-24 months so that stunting problems are not a problem that always haunts children's health in Indonesia. It is hoped that this effort can significantly reduce stunting cases.
