<![CDATA[Nutritional problems are closely related to the availability and accessibility of food in society. This low level threatens to reduce consumption of diverse and nutritionally balanced foods. This will have an impact on the high problem of malnutrition in society, especially in vulnerable groups such as mothers, babies and children. The aim of the research was to identify the relationship between mothers' knowledge about the contents of my plate and exclusive breastfeeding with the nutritional status of toddlers aged 1-5 years at Posyandu Petungsewu Barat, Petungsewu Wagir Village, Malang Regency. This type of quantitative research with an observational analytical research design was carried out in March 2024 at Posyandu Petungsewu Barat. Sampling was taken using purposive sampling technique.
