Abstract

The banana blossom has significant potential as a local superfood that can enhance both the production and quality of breast milk (ASI). Its nutritional components—including plant-based proteins, fiber, minerals, and phytonutrients—make it a safe, natural, and easily accessible alternative source of nutrition across various regions of Indonesia. This study is particularly important given the persistently high prevalence of nutritional problems among infants and the low rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the country.The development of banana blossom–based food innovations is expected to serve as an effective strategy to strengthen household food security and address nutritional challenges among vulnerable groups, particularly breastfeeding mothers and infants in their early stages of life. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential effects of banana blossom consumption on optimizing the growth and development of infants aged 0–6 months. This research employs an experimental design using a pre–post-test control group method. The participants consist of 40 breastfeeding mothers with infants aged 0–6 months within the working area of Puskesmas Stabat, Medan. The intervention group received banana blossom consumption every three days for four weeks. The results show that banana blossom consumption had a significant effect on increasing infants’ weight and height, indicating its potential contribution to sustainably improving infant nutritional status.

Abstract

Proper feeding practices are essential for preventing stunting in toddlers, yet many mothers lack adequate knowledge about nutrition. Education on feeding patterns can help mothers to make wiser decisions about their children’s diets.  This study employed a single-group quasi-experimental design with a pre-test–post-test, conducted at the Pratama Kesira Mutiara Clinic between November 2024 and April 2025. The sample consisted of 43 mothers of toddlers, selected through purposive sampling technique from a population of 76 clinic visitors, who met the inclusion criteria: having healthy toddlers, being able to communicate effectively, and agreeing to participate. Dietary education served as the independent variable, while improvements in mothers' nutritional behaviour served as the dependent variable. Data were collected using structured instruments and analysed descriptively (univariate) and inferentially (bivariate) with paired t-tests for normally distributed data or Wilcoxon tests for non-normal data.  Results showed that dietary education significantly improved mothers’ feeding behaviour, shifting the majority from inappropriate practices before the intervention to appropriate practices afterward (p < 0, 05). These findings are consistent with previous evidence that dietary education enhances feeding practices and support better child nutrition. Overall, structured educational interventions delivered by health workers play a crucial role in empowering mothers and advancing sustainable stunting prevention efforts. Keywords: Education, Stunting, Toddlers, Nutrition.
