Abstract
Stunting remains a critical public health concern in Indonesia, with a persistently high prevalence among toddlers. In Magetan, East Java, data from the Plaosan Community Health Center over the past three years indicate a rising trend in stunting cases, underscoring the urgent need for effective nutritional interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of milk supplementation in improving the weight and height of stunted toddlers. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest designwas employed, involving 56 toddlers aged 1–3 years who received Batita milk for 45 consecutive days. Weight and height data were collected before and after the intervention using standardized measurement instruments. Statistical analysis was conducted using the paired samples t-test to assess changes in nutritional status.The results demonstrated a significant improvement in both weight and height after the intervention. The mean body weight increased from 8,737.50 grams to 8,923.21 grams, while the mean height rose from 804.66 mm to 806.63 mm. Both changes were statistically significant with p-values < 0.05. These findings confirm that milk supplementation contributes meaningfully to improving the nutritional status of stunted toddlers, particularly in terms of weight and linear growth.In conclusion, milk supplementation is an effective intervention to support weight gain and height improvement among toddlers experiencing stunting. It is recommended that health practitioners, especially at the community level, promote regular milk consumption for children as part of broader nutritional strategies to combat stunting. Further research with control groups and longer intervention periods is warranted to reinforce these findings and guide policy decisions.
