J-FRIENDLY BEAUTIFUL
On Saturday, July 29 2024, at the Guidedman Village Hall, Jelbuk District, a stunting prevention activity was carried out which involved approximately 30 toddlers. This action was organized by GenBI (Generation Baru Indonesia) Jember in collaboration with the Jember Health Office.
GenBI is a group of youth who received a scholarship from Bank Indonesia. On the occasion yesterday, 15 people attended. In this activity, games or games related to healthy behavior are carried out and participants who answer successfully get prizes.
The enthusiasm of the mothers of toddlers was seen where they were enthusiastic to take part in the games that were carried out and a number of questions asked.
On this occasion the Health Service provided material on what stunting is, its effects and how it causes it.
The question posed by the mother of the toddler is:
Is hereditary stunting
If the toddler is still getting breast milk and growth is not optimal, breast milk should be stopped
What if you have been given additional food and handling growth is still not optimal
These three questions are very good and weighty. Maybe the reader also wants to know the answer because they have the same question. OK the answer is:
Is stunting hereditary? , Stunting is not hereditary, stunting is a condition of failure to thrive where a person is malnourished for a long time, especially in the first 1000 days of life (that is, from pregnant women to children aged 2 years) where the child looks short. And if measured height compared to age is below the WHO standard standard less than -2 Standard Deviations (SD)
If the toddler is still getting breast milk and the growth is not optimal, should the milk be stopped? No. Breast milk must still be given because breast milk is the best food for babies. What mothers must do is to give breast milk to their babies more often and consume nutritious foods that are high in protein sources and maintain personal hygiene. Checking the baby to the health center to check whether there are comorbidities or improper breastfeeding methods so that the baby’s milk intake is not optimal.
What if you have been given additional food and the handling of growth is still not optimal according to the KMS (Towards Health card)? It is necessary to examine the toddler whether there is an infection or accompanying disease. Check the physical condition of toddlers in general whether the condition of our toddlers is healthy, active and cheerful. If every month the growth chart is normal, it will make the body able to ward off infection and disease.
In addition, when the activity was also carried out weighing and measuring the height of the toddlers present. This activity also shows youth’s concern for the problem of stunting and their enthusiasm to take part in tackling stunting. Hopefully this activity will inspire other young people.
