Stunting is a major problem experienced by toddlers in the world and Indonesia. Efforts to prevent stunting are changing peoples behavior through health promotion programs and community empowerment, all of which seek to intervene in positive behavior change, especially in mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting. It was a correlational descriptive study using a cross sectional approach. Respondents in this study were mothers who had stunted toddlers in Kepuh Village, Papar District, Kediri Regency, 25 respondents. The sampling technique used is total sampling. The results of the study showed that 76% of toddlers who experienced stunting did not get exclusive breastfeeding. The results of the chi square test obtained a p value: 0.028, where the p value <0.05. Because the p value <0.05, there was a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in toddlers.

There was a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting.Exclusive breastfeeding alone will not be able to reduce the incidence of stunting, but it must be supported by improving socioeconomic conditions, education levels, infectious disease, and empowering women.This highlights the need for a multifaceted approach to address stunting, going beyond just breastfeeding practices.Effective interventions require a holistic strategy that considers various contributing factors to ensure optimal child growth and development.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam mengenai faktor-faktor sosial ekonomi dan budaya yang mempengaruhi praktik pemberian ASI eksklusif di masyarakat, khususnya di daerah dengan prevalensi stunting tinggi. Selain itu, studi intervensi yang melibatkan pendekatan pemberdayaan keluarga secara komprehensif, termasuk peningkatan pengetahuan gizi ibu, dukungan suami, dan perbaikan akses terhadap layanan kesehatan, perlu dikembangkan untuk menguji efektivitasnya dalam menurunkan angka stunting. Terakhir, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk memahami persepsi dan pengalaman ibu dalam memberikan ASI eksklusif, serta hambatan-hambatan yang mereka hadapi, sehingga dapat dirancang program yang lebih tepat sasaran dan sesuai dengan kebutuhan masyarakat. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan bukti empiris yang kuat untuk mendukung kebijakan dan program pencegahan stunting yang lebih efektif dan berkelanjutan.
