This condition increases the risk of obesity and non-communicable diseases in later life if not addressed early on. Community midwifery care through promotional and preventive activities, particularly health education using leaflets and posters, plays an important role in increasing parents' knowledge about controlling overweight in toddlers. Method: One group pre-test post-test approach. The sample consisted of 10 toddlers. Sampling techniques included interviews, observations, anthropometric examinations, and recording on the Health Card (KMS).

Conclusion: Providing education using posters and leaflets had a significant effect on increasing parents' knowledge in controlling overweight in toddlers.]]>
