Abstract

One of Indonesia's health programs is to improve the health and nutrition status of mothers and children. The problem of stunting children is still encountered in the 4.0 revolution era. The author is interested in solving this problem by conducting a nutritional counselling intervention research on breastfeeding pregnant women about exclusive breastfeeding. The general objective of this study was to determine differences in stunting status of two-month-old infants from pregnant to lactating mothers who received individual and group nutritional counselling in South Minahasa Regency. The results of this study and supported by other studies indicate that in order to improve the knowledge and attitudes of subjects about exclusive breastfeeding it needs to be supported by various factors. Counselling is not the only way used to improve knowledge and attitudes. Conclusions There are no significant differences in knowledge and attitudes, but there are significant differences regarding the exclusive breastfeeding behaviour of the treatment and control groups.
