Relationship between Early Initiation Breastfeeding, Exclusive Breastfeeding, Complementary Feeding, and Nutritional Education with Nutritional Status of Children under Three years

---

Introduction: Nutritional status according to the height-to-age index was influenced by many factors, such as maternal or child factors. Now, the government’s nutrition program focuses on the problem of malnutrition in toddlers, especially stunting. The study aimed to determine the relationship between a history of early initiation breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and nutrition education with the nutritional status of toddlers according to height-to-age index.
Methods: The study had a cross-sectional design, and 356 samples were selected systematically and randomly from children under three years old. Data on
the history of early initiation breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and nutrition education were collected by interviewing toddlers’
mothers using a questionnaire, and anthropometric measurements collected data on toddlers’ nutritional status. The Chi-Square test was conducted to evaluate
the relationships among variables, with a significance value < 0.05. Results: There was a significant relationship between the history of exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of toddlers according to the height-to-age index (p = 0.032). There was no significant relationship between early initiation breastfeeding, the time of
giving the first complementary feeding, the origin and type of complementary feeding, and nutrition education about breast milk and complementary feeding with the
nutritional status of toddlers ( p > 0.05 ). Conclusion: Nutrition education initiatives should be strengthened to improve moms’ knowledge and activate
community health cadres in accompanying toddler families related to child nutrition and health problems. Healthy nursing practices and clear guidance on
exclusive breastfeeding can enhance child nutrition.
