Giving MP-ASI too early at the age of 6 months results in long-term and short-term negative impacts.

Giving MP-ASI too early at the age of 6 months results in long-term and short-term negative impacts. The conclusion from this service activity is that students need to understand the importance of providing MP-ASI properly and correctly to be applied in daily life which will later be used at the age of the child who will be given MP-ASI according to age. Students have the potential to be agents of change to promote the provision of MP-ASI both in the school, family and community environment. You need self-awareness in giving MP-ASI to children according to the right age. There is support from health workers, friends, as well as support for the implementation of the appropriate and correct age appropriate MP-ASI Providing program.
