A Ton of Mothers with Knowledge of Infant and Child Feeding Stunting Events

Abstract

Short stature is a defining characteristic of stunting, a chronic nutritional condition. With the proper infant and child feeding (PMBA), one can reduce the risk of stunting. Every mother must fully comprehend this effort in order for this to happen. In light of the current situation, preliminary interviews with mothers of toddlers revealed that 90% of them were aware of the routine and guidelines for proper toddler feeding, despite the fact that the nutrition officer at the Health Center had previously informed them that the percentage of stunting in the Tirtoyudo District was still higher than 10%. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the association between the prevalence of stunting and mothers' knowledge of infant and child feeding (IPM). This study uses a cross-sectional, correlational strategy.
