Abstract

The growth and development of toddlers is something that needs great attention. This is because toddlerhood is a period of very rapid and critical growth, usually known as the golden age. There is potential for growth and development disorders in infants and toddlers due to a lack of balanced nutritional intake and knowledge about growth and development stimulation. PMT is one strategy for overcoming nutritional problems. Posyandu cadres as part of the posyandu driving team have a very important role in conveying the right information to mothers about PMT. Appropriate PMT can influence the nutritional status of toddlers. The aim of this community service activity is to increase the knowledge of posyandu cadres regarding proper feeding of babies and children with local ingredients. The methods used include education and practice in making baby and children's food using local ingredients. The results obtained by the cadres were an increase in knowledge after being given counseling which was shown by an increase in post test scores. The next activity is the practice of making baby and child food such as moringa nuggets, moringa vegetables, moringa pudding, dragon fruit pudding and so on. It is hoped that similar activities can continue to be carried out on an ongoing basis so that knowledge about feeding babies and children can be well disseminated to the community.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is an important intervention in improving infant health and nutritional resilience, but the success rate in Indonesia has not yet reached the national target. The urgency of this study lies in the importance of understanding the role of midwives in providing lactation education as an effective strategy to improve exclusive breastfeeding practices. This study aims to analyze how lactation education provided by midwives contributes to improving mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding breastfeeding. The study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method, examining five relevant national scientific publications on the topic of lactation education and exclusive breastfeeding practices. The data were analyzed thematically by identifying patterns, concepts, and relationships between research results. The results of the analysis show that lactation education by midwives has a significant impact on increasing mothers' knowledge, forming positive attitudes towards breastfeeding, and strengthening emotional and social support for mothers. In addition, continuous training for midwives has been proven to increase the competence and effectiveness of the education provided. These findings contribute to the strengthening of health behavior theory and midwifery practices based on maternal empowerment. This study concludes that the success of exclusive breastfeeding requires a holistic, innovative, and sustainable educational approach. It is recommended that future research use a triangulation approach and expand the sociocultural context to enrich the understanding of the phenomenon of lactation education in Indonesia. Keywords: lactation education, midwifery personnel, exclusive breastfeeding, maternal and child health, breastfeeding promotion.
