EDUCATION AND COOKING DEMONTRATION FOR PROBLEM SOLVING COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING

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.
