<![CDATA[Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five as a result of chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age. Stunting can occur in the womb due to inadequate nutritional intake during pregnancy. This study aims to examine the effect of mentoring on the knowledge and behavior of pregnant women in focus-stunting villages. The intervention is nutritional counseling using standard operating procedures and booklets. Mentoring is carried out by nutritionist one times a week for one month. The study is a quasi-experiment with a non-randomized control group design pre-test - post-test design. The subjects were 60 people who were selected purposively from the population of pregnant women in 6 villages in East Lampung Regency. Data analysis used Wilcoxon Rank Test and Mann Whitney. The results showed that there were significant differences in knowledge energy and protein intake. No difference in consumption of sulfas ferosus supplements between the two groups. Nutritional assistance for pregnant women increases knowledge and nutritional intake. A nutritionist can take the mother's class to strengthen nutrition assistance to pregnant women.
