Background: The stunting rate in Indonesia in 2022 was 21.6%. I was reduced when compared to the SSGI data in 2021 of 24.4%. Stunting prevention is a much more effective step than stunting treatment itself. Prevention of stunting can be done by optimizing the role of mothers in the golden phase of child development. Stunting can be prevented by implementing infant and child feeding, which consists of Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD), exclusive breastfeeding, and timely initiation of complementary feeding. Unfortunately, the achievement of this component of infant and child feeding practices is still far from the target. In 2022, the percentage of infants who received exclusive breastfeeding was 69.7%.
