Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding, and the incidence of stunting in toddlers. The objective is to identify how these nutritional practices impact child growth and development. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted involving 135 toddlers at Puskesmas Yosomulyo, utilizing a combination of interviews and questionnaires to gather data on feeding practices and health outcomes. The findings reveal that toddlers who received exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary foods exhibited significantly lower rates of stunting compared to those who did not. Specifically, 33% of toddlers who were not exclusively breastfed experienced stunting, while only 19 toddlers who received appropriate complementary food were stunted. The results underscore the critical role of proper nutrition in early childhood development and highlight the need for enhanced educational programs for parents regarding feeding practices. In conclusion, promoting exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding is essential for reducing stunting rates and improving overall child health
