ABSTRACT
Background: Inadequate Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices significantly contribute to malnutrition and health complications, particularly in developing countries. In Indonesia, challenges such as cultural barriers, inconsistent maternal knowledge, and insufficient social support hinder effective IYCF implementation. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving child nutrition and health outcomes.
