Abstract

Stunting is a condition in which a child has a lower height than their standard age, which can be caused by chronic malnutrition. This community service aims to educate children about balanced nutrition to prevent stunting. The methods used in this program include direct counseling, distribution of informative brochures, and demonstrations of the presentation of nutritious food. The target of the program is parents, especially mothers who have children under the age of five. The activity results showed increased participants' knowledge and awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition in child growth. The conclusion is that this community service program has succeeded in increasing public understanding and awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition in preventing stunting in children. This can be seen from the increase in the participants' knowledge about balanced nutrition and the steps that must be taken to ensure that children get enough food. In addition, this program has also succeeded in encouraging behavioral changes in the diet of participants' families, which is expected to contribute to reducing stunting rates in the area. With continuous education and support from various parties, it is hoped that stunting prevention efforts can run more effectively and children can grow healthy and optimally.

Abstract

Introduction: Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves are rich in nutrients and phytochemicals that may enhance lactation performance. Breastfeeding mothers often experience inadequate milk production, and moringa supplementation has been explored as a potential natural galactagogue. Methods: This systematic review aimed to analyze the effects of moringa leaf consumption on breast milk quantity in lactating mothers. A comprehensive search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for studies published between 2015 and 2025. Inclusion criteria encompassed randomized controlled trials and observational studies evaluating moringa leaf preparations (powder, extract, or capsules) compared with placebo or standard care. Data extraction focused on milk volume, lactation duration, and maternal nutritional outcomes. Results: Across the included studies, supplementation with moringa leaves consistently increased milk production. Most trials reported a significant increase in milk volume during the first 2 weeks postpartum compared with control groups (p < 0.05). Phytochemical components, such as flavonoids and saponins, in moringa are believed to stimulate prolactin secretion and enhance maternal nutrition. However, variations in dosage, preparation form, and study design led to moderate heterogeneity across studies. Conclusion: Moringa leaf consumption significantly enhances breast milk quantity among lactating mothers. Its use as a natural galactagogue holds promise in improving breastfeeding success and maternal nutrition, particularly in low-resource settings. Moringa leaf supplements can be recommended as a natural galactagogue for breastfeeding mothers, in conjunction with a balanced diet and adequate hydration, to support milk production and infant health.
