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

Abstract

Reducing stunting in children is the first of six Global Nutrition Targets for 2025 and serves as a key indicator in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Stunting is associated with increased risks of illness, mortality, and impaired motor and cognitive development in children. According to the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), the prevalence of stunting in Lampung Province decreased to 15.2%, down from 18.5% in 2021. However, in Metro City, the prevalence increased from 7.29% (2021) to 10.4% (2022), with the highest rate recorded in the working area of Yosomulyo Health Center at 11%. This study aims to analyze the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, history of low birth weight (LBW), and immunization status with the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This research is a quantitative study with a case-control analytic design. The population consisted of children aged 1–5 years who experienced stunting in the Yosomulyo Health Center working area between February and June 2024, totaling 84 children (11%). The sample consisted of 45 children in the case group and 90 children in the control group (a 1:2 ratio), selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with SPSS software after conducting a normality test. The analysis showed a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, history of LBW, and immunization status with the incidence of stunting (p<0.001). Factors such as lack of exclusive breastfeeding, low birth weight, and incomplete immunization are significantly associated with the incidence of stunting. Early prevention of stunting can be achieved through proper pregnancy planning and regular antenatal care.
