Abstract

Based on the data, in Silian, children under five were still found who were indicated to be stunting. Stunting data in North Sulawesi in 2021 is 27% and in Southeast Minahasa Regency 25%. The problem of stunting occurs when children during their growth period do not receive food of optimal quality and quantity. There are still children who are given complementary food with breast milk when the child is not yet 6 months old. The mother's or caregiver's knowledge and skills in producing complementary foods for breast milk can be a reason for providing complementary foods for breast milk early. The aim of community service activities is that health cadres and mothers empower the welfare of families in Silian 1 village to make local food-based complementary foods for breast milk so that they can prevent stunting in Silian 1 village.

Community service activities in the form of providing nutritional education by providing materials related to complementary foods for breast milk were carried out for 2 days in April 2021. The location for the training was at the Silian 1 village meeting hall. Participants were nutrition implementation staff at Silian 1 Community Health Center, nutrition cadres, , head of the Mobilization Team for empowering family welfare in Silian 1 village, and mothers who have toddlers. Making complementary foods for breast milk is presented again in video form and demonstrated by participants. The practice of direct manufacturing of breast milk complementary food products is carried out by targets in community service.

In community service activities, several recipes for complementary food for breast milk based on local food were produced in the form of tuna, breadfruit, sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin, taro and cassava. A total of 9 recipes for breast milk complementary foods based on local food have been demonstrated by training participants. The results of community service show an increase in participants' skills in making complementary foods for breast milk.
