Abstract
Background. Adequate nutrition is essential for the growth of neonates, infants, and toddlers, beginning with exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. After this period, complementary feeding becomes necessary as breast milk alone is insufficient. This approach can lower child mortality under 5 by 6%.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of complementary feeding practice education on mothers' responses to feeding toddlers.

Key variables included education on complementary feeding practices, actual feeding practices, and sociodemographic factors such as age, education level, employment status, family income, family size, and toddler characteristics like age, height, and nutritional status. Data collection utilized a comprehensive feeding practices questionnaire (CFPQ) consisting of 54 items, with statistical analyses performed using the Wilcoxon tests.
Findings. The test obtained p= 0.000, there is an influence of complementary feeding practice education on mothers' feeding practices for toddlers in the Suruh Community Health Center area.
