Dissemination of malnutrition among infants and toddlers to mothers in Sungai Pitung Village
Main Article Content
Abstract
Toddler age (under five years) is an important period in the process of human growth and development, where in this period the growth and development takes place very quickly. The process of child development is supported by balanced nutrition. Poor nutrition is a risk factor for disease attacks that will worsen the nutritional status of children. According to the Ministry of Health in 2011, malnutrition is a nutritional status based on the weight index according to age (BW/U), namely the terms underweight (malnutrition) and very thin (malnutrition). Toddlers are said to be afraid of malnutrition with a body mass index (BMI) below 18.5 kg / m². Here is the reason why I created an individual work program entitled "Socialization of Infant and Toddler Nutrition to Mothers in Sungai Pitung Village", with the aim that parents, especially mothers, know more about the importance of balanced nutrition in infants and toddlers to avoid malnutrition. It also aims to reduce cases of malnutrition in infants and toddlers in Sungai Pitung Village. The method I use here is the socialization method (live lectures) and distributing leaflets, which target mothers. The results obtained were that the mothers understood more about malnutrition and how to prevent it. conclusion, malnutrition is the most dangerous thing for toddlers.
