Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) for 2020 shows that the prevalence of stunting globally is in the high category because it is between 20% - 30%. Indonesia is the sixth country in the South-East Asia region with 36,4% of stunting cases. Incidence of stunting occurs due to chronic malnutrition in children after birth. Malnutrition can occur as a result of a child after birth getting insufficient food or breast milk for growth. Therefore it is necessary to do various ways to prevent the incidence of stunting in the community, one of the efforts is through counseling to prevent stunting by using herbal ingredients to increase breast milk and monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers through anthropometric measurements.
