Quoted from the official website of the Indonesian Ministry of Healt, the following are ways to prevent stunting in children:

1. Give Breast Milk For 6 Months In Babies

Giving breast milk regularly for 6 months to babies will give them an opportunity to reduce stunting in children because breast milk contains micro and macro nutrients. In addition to macro and micro nutritional content, breast milk also contains Whey and Colostrum proteins which can increase the immunity of vulnerable babies so that they are always healthy.

2. Fulfill Nutritional Needs Since Pregnancy

To prevent early stunting, pregnant women are encouraged to always meet nutritional needs. Pregnant women are advised to consume healthy and nutritious foods or supplements recommended by doctors.

3. Child Development Monitor

Parents are encouraged to monitor their baby's condition regularly from height to weight. In addition, parents are encouraged to bring the child regularly to visit the Posyandu or local children's clinic so that they can find out the early symptoms of stunting and also how to prevent the disease.
