<![CDATA[Appropriate complementary feeding (MP-ASI) is important for meeting the nutritional needs of toddlers, and maternal knowledge plays an important role in its implementation. Social media provides easy access to MP-ASI information, but exposure does not necessarily result in better knowledge. This study aimed to determine the relationship between exposure to complementary feeding content and the knowledge of mothers of toddlers in the working area of Pemancungan Community Health Center, Padang, in 2026. This quantitative observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design. It was conducted from 8 to 23 June 2026. The population consisted of mothers with toddlers aged 6–24 months, and 78 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed descriptively and bivariately with SPSS. The Chi Square Test was used at α = 0.05. Results: Of 78 respondents, 39 (50.0%) were exposed to MP-ASI content and 62 (79.5%) had good knowledge. Among exposed mothers, 84.6% had good knowledge, compared with 74.4% among mothers who were not exposed. The statistical test produced p = 0.580 (p > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between exposure to MP-ASI content and maternal knowledge. Pemancungan Community Health Center is recommended to optimize social media as a source of valid and accurate MP-ASI education, while future studies should consider additional factors that may influence maternal knowledge.]]>
