Abstract: The culture of giving additional food to babies before the right age or before the baby is 6 months old is also very risky for the baby's development. Early complementary feeding is inseparable from the threat of danger posed An accidental sampling survey of 68 respondents was conducted in February-March 2023. This type of research is analytic descriptive research with a quantitative approach. Respondents in this study amounted to 68 mothers with an age range of 17-40 years with 35 babies aged 0-6 months and 33 babies aged 7-12 months. The results showed that there was a close relationship between early complementary breastfeeding and the nutritional status of infants, this was also inseparable from the mother's education factor. In this study, no relationship was found between the age factor of mother’s, family income, family support, prenatal care, and the mother's work with the provision of early complementary. Knowledge about giving complementary foods to babies is very important. Therefore, it is necessary to provide proper education regarding the procedures for giving complementary foods.
