nutritional problems among toddlers is due to the insufficient knowledge of
mothers in preparing complementary feeding (MP ASI). Therefore, education
through booklet media is needed to improve the knowledge of mothers in
preparing MP ASI. This study aims to determine the influence of MP ASI
education through booklet media on the knowledge of mothers with toddlers in
preparing MP ASI in the working area of RambatanCommunity Health Center I,

bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test with a 95% confidence level. The
research results revealed that before the education, the average pretest knowledge

significant influence of education using booklet media on the knowledge
