Do you know that the baby need a lot of nutritions than adult? if measured
based from weight, that’s true that the baby need a lot of nutrition than
adult. even it’s twice.
When the baby grew up after 6 month, he has been ready to receive
complementary food. In fact that many mom’s (it called mom’s) doesn’t know when
the baby receive complementary feeding. Complementary feeding can decrease
malnutrition of infant. Because in 6 month breast milk is no longer enough to
meet the nutritional needs.
WHO declared that when breast milk is no longer than enough to meet the
nutritional needs of the infant, complementary food should be added to the diet
of the child. Transition from exclusive breastfeeding to family foods covers
the period from 6 to 18-24 month of age.
Some groups in urban society complementary feeding gave after the baby 2
years old. Moreover in exterm casus after 4 yeras old, it’s dangerous. The otherwise
urban society complementary feeding gave after the baby born, that’s too young.
Therefor I and my friend from nutrition hold some education event and
cooking demontration about complementary feeding. The reason is giving
knowladge complementary feeding and how to make complementary feeding the way
easy and healthy. What kind of food can give complementary feeding and
appropiate processing methods.
Education event and cooking demontration held in Subprobo Posyandu Kebon Baru
village, Pucangan Kartasura, Central Java. In this event we joined posyandu
event. We helped measure weight, haigh the baby and child.
We got some problems. When we measured the child has under 1 yeras old, somebody carying or didn’t want to be
measured. Sometimes they toke over in their mom’s. It’s so difficult. But I
think this is my way for knowing phsycology the child. I think it’s fun when we
studied directly on the field. We got new experiance.
complementary feeding education
After finish event of posyandu, we tried to give aducation and cooking
demontration about complementary feeding. Many mom’s excited to join in this
event. Some mom’s asked about her child and then we answered and gave advice in

feeding and foodstuff utilize. That’s importhan you must known what kind of
