Many Posyandu cadres have difficulty measuring toddlers’s height and weighing correctly.

The activities were divided into two stages, namely training for cadres in class in the form of theory and practice for two days, and the second stage was field practice as well as fostering posyadu activitie. Material training is theory and practice of weighing, measuring height and length, filling in KMS, and counseling on nutrition. As a result of the activity, training has been carried out to improve the ability of cadres in monitoring growth. The activity was carried out at the Sungai Batang Ilir Village Hall. Weighing practices are carried out according to posyandu opening days.
