Abstract

Stunting is a persistent public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in rural communities, and is influenced by caregiving practices and dietary patterns. This study aimed to analyze the association between parenting practices, supplementary feeding (PMT), and the incidence of stunting among children aged 6–59 months in Gedungboyountung Village. A cross-sectional analytic design was conducted from June to August 2025 with 60 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Parenting and feeding practices were assessed using structured questionnaires, while stunting was determined based on height-for-age z-scores. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The findings showed that 8.3% (5 children) were stunted. A significant association was observed between parenting practices and stunting (p = 0.028), indicating that children raised with poor parenting were more likely to be stunted. Supplementary feeding was also significantly associated with stunting (p = 0.014), with inappropriate or low-quality feeding practices increasing the risk of growth faltering. These results suggest that stunting in rural areas is strongly linked to behavioral and caregiving factors, especially the adequacy of food provision and the quality of parenting.  Strengthening community-based health education programs to improve parenting skills and ensure appropriate supplementary feeding may serve as effective strategies to reduce stunting prevalence. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longitudinal approaches are recommended to confirm these findings and to explore additional determinants such as socioeconomic conditions, maternal education, and sanitation.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is the most effective nutritional intervention to prevent stunting. However, Lamongan Regency still records low exclusive breastfeeding coverage. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Lactation Buddy intervention through WhatsApp Group in supporting exclusive breastfeeding practice. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest. The study was conducted in Deket Kulon Village, Deket Sub-district, Lamongan Regency, involving 60 mothers with infants aged 0–6 months who were recruited using purposive sampling and divided into intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The intervention group received three-month assistance through WhatsApp Group facilitated by health workers and lactation counselors, while the control group obtained standard care. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Results indicated significant improvement in the intervention group: the average knowledge score increased from 65.3 to 85.7 (p<0.001), positive attitudes toward breastfeeding rose from 60% to 80% (p=0.002), and correct breastfeeding practices improved from 53.3% to 83.3% (p<0.001). Furthermore, exclusive breastfeeding success was achieved by 83.3% of mothers in the intervention group compared to 56.7% in the control group (p=0.01). The findings confirm that the Lactation Buddy intervention via WhatsApp Group is effective in improving maternal knowledge, attitudes, practices, and exclusive breastfeeding success, and may serve as a scalable strategy to support stunting prevention in Deket Kulon Village, Deket Sub-district, Lamongan Regency.
