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.
