Batu Menyan Village has 247 children under five years old (Toddlers) and there are 7% or 18 children suffering stunting. The handling of nutritional problems that occur can be handled by fulfilling additional nutrition in babies and toddlers, namely by providing Complementary Foods (MPASI) when the baby is around 6 months old, his needs for energy and nutrients begin to exceed breast milk, so complementary foods are needed because if babies and toddlers are only given breast milk (ASI) for nutritional fulfillment, then breast milk will not be able to meet the needs of babies who are getting bigger and need more nutrition big. This research is a survey with a descriptive approach and the design of this research is cross sextional. This research will be carried out in May 2024. The place of this research is in Batu Menyan Village, namely the village midwife and the Hanura Health Center. Batu Menyan Village has 5 places for posyandu for babies and toddlers, namely viola 1 (Ketapang), viola 2 (Margodalom), viola 3 (Way Sabu), viola 4 (Ciberem), viola 5 (Menanga).
