“…Iodinated salt is critical for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and its inadequate consumption represents the most common cause of preventable impairments in mental health worldwide [5]. Several factors, particularly nutrition, may contribute to developing long-term salt-related consequences later in life, such as obesity, cardiovascular, endocrine, and metabolic diseases [6]. Hence, proper complementary foods are important for nutritional and developmental needs [1].…”

It is widely known that optimal nutrition in the first 1000 days of life positively impacts the child’s development throughout adulthood. In this setting, salt should not be added to complementary feeding. In developed countries, salt intake is generally higher than recommended for children. Excessive salt intake is the major determinant of hypertension and is associated with several cardiovascular outcomes. Therefore, pediatricians have a key role in raising awareness among parents to avoid salt consumption in the first 1000 days of life to ensure better health for their children. Starting from a review of the literature published in PubMed/MedLine regarding the short- and long-term consequences of salt consumption during the first 1000 days of life, our comprehensive review aims to analyze the beneficial effects of avoiding salt at such a vulnerable stage of life as the first 1000 days. Obesity, hypertension, increased salt sensitivity, high sweet drink consumption, increased mortality, and morbidity persisting in adult age represent the principal consequences of a higher salt intake during the first 1000 days of life.

“…Therefore, if nutritional problems occur during this period it will have an impact on the quality of human resources and ultimately impact on the nation's competitiveness (Scott, 2020). At the age of six months until two years, breast milk can no longer meet the baby's nutritional needs so the baby needs complementary food (Taha et al, 2020;Zhou & Xu, 2023). The nutritional content in complementary foods must be able to meet children's nutritional requirements so that growth faltering (failure to grow) or known as stunting does not occur (World Health Organization, 2018).…”

At the age of six months to two years, infant need breast milk complementary food. Mothers' ignorance about providing nutritious complementary foods can lead to low nutritional intake which ultimately results in stunted growth. This community service activity aims to increase mothers' knowledge about making breast milk complementary food through education. Participants in this activity were 70 mothers who had children under two years old in two posyandu (Cempaka and Edelweiss) at the Karuripan Community Health Center, Tasikmalaya City. The methods used in this activity include needs assessment, creating educational materials, implementing education (explaining and providing examples of how to make complementary food) and evaluation by administering pre-tests and post-tests. The results of this activity have a positive influence on increasing mothers' knowledge about making MP ASI, so that similar activities need to be carried out regularly.
