Review of the Literature on Exclusive Breastfeeding and Stunting Incidents

Abstract

Indonesia has the second-highest rate of stunted children under five (toddlers) in Southeast Asia, according to a report by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). In 2020, the prevalence was 31.8%. The researcher employed the literature review method in this investigation. The study's goals were to determine the prevalence of stunting, correlate exclusive breastfeeding with stunting, and elucidate the connection between stunting and exclusive nursing. The databases used in this research are ScienceDirect, Proquest, and Google Scholar. With a total of five articles, the study's keywords were stunting for two years and exclusive breastfeeding. Four publications with a p-value < 0.05 were found in the literature review's findings, and the 90 infants.
