Abstract

Good nutrition in toddlers is an important factor in supporting children's optimal growth and development. However, there are still many people who have a lack of understanding of good nutritional parenting, which can have an impact on the risk of stunting and other nutritional problems. The Community Service Program (PkM) aims to increase public knowledge about the importance of balanced nutrition and healthy diets for children, especially mothers under five. The methods used in this program include education through counseling, demonstrations of making healthy menus, and interactive discussion sessions. This program was attended by 50 mothers under five in the Posyandu assisted area. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of nutrition for toddlers, which was demonstrated by an increase in pre-test and post-test scores. In addition, there has been a change in the practice of feeding toddlers, with more mothers adopting a healthy diet after attending education. In conclusion, community-based nutrition education effectively increases the understanding and practice of balanced nutrition for toddlers, which is expected to contribute to reducing stunting and malnutrition rates

Abstract

Introduction: Breast engorgement is a common postpartum complication that contributes to maternal discomfort and early discontinuation of breastfeeding. Effective, accessible, and non-pharmacological management strategies are needed to support maternal and child health outcomes. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a topical aloe vera–menthol combination gel in reducing breast engorgement severity and pain intensity among postpartum mothers. Research Methodology: A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a posttest-only control group design was conducted among 32 postpartum mothers experiencing breast engorgement in the working area of the East Lampung District Health Office, Indonesia. Participants were allocated into an intervention group (n=16) receiving aloe vera–menthol gel twice daily for four days and a control group (n=16) receiving standard breast care. Breast engorgement severity was measured using the Six-Point Engorgement Scale (SPES), and pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test and multivariable linear regression (α=0.05). Results: The intervention group demonstrated significantly lower SPES and NRS scores compared with the control group (p<0.001). After adjustment for age, parity, and breastfeeding frequency, the gel remained an independent predictor of reduced engorgement severity (β = -1.49; 95% CI: -2.05 to -0.93) and pain intensity (β = -2.21; 95% CI: -3.01 to -1.41). Conclusion: The aloe vera–menthol gel is an effective complementary topical therapy for reducing breast engorgement and pain in postpartum mothers and may support breastfeeding continuity in primary healthcare settings.
