He explained this Posyandu for toddlers is also an effort to prevent stunting. Hence, his party reminded Posyandu cadres to improve their skills and knowledge regarding handling stunting properly and correctly.
"For skills, they (cadres) must be able and accustomed to using anthropometric kits, and can make nutritious additional food from various kinds of processed healthy food sources," he explained.
One of the toddlers' parents, Minarti (38) admitted she routinely checked his child's progress at the Posyandu every month.
