Abstract
Complementary foods for breast milk are foods that are given to babies who are 6 months old or older because breast milk does not meet the nutritional needs of babies. Mother's knowledge of MP-ASI is very important so that mothers can give MP ASI to the baby appropriately. Mother's lack of knowledge about the importance of MP-ASI is influenced by the promotion of dietary supplements and formula milk products. Early MP-ASI with the incidence of diarrhea in 0-6 month infants affects the mother's access to the time media that influences decision-making, where the higher the mother's education, the greater the opportunity to provide MP-ASI. The study aims to analyze the early MP-ASI feeding with the incidence of diarrhea in infants 0-6 months with feeding to infants. The type of research is analytical correlative with the design of a cross sectional study. The research was carried out in Medan Tuntungan District, starting from September-December 2025. The population and sample in the study of all mothers who had babies in Medan Tuntungan District amounted to 54 people. Sampling is a total sampling technique.
