Abstract

Background. Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five (babies under five years) which is caused by chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age. Malnutrition occurs when the baby is in the womb and in the early days after the baby is born, but stunting only appears after the baby is 2 years old. Stunting can be caused by not going through the golden period which begins in the first 1000 days of life, which is the formation of a child's growth and development in the first 1000 days. Based on data obtained from the Suruh Community Health Center, stunting incidents were still found in the Suruh Community Health Center area.

Cadres have the motivation to provide information to other cadres and mothers of toddlers to prevent stunting, and are willing to carry out appropriate anthropometric measurements for toddlers at posyandu
