The nutritional status is the condition of the body as a result of food consumption and nutrient utilization. The nutritional status of toddlers (children under five) is an important health indicator in Indonesia. In 2025, within the working area of Bira Public Health Center (Puskesmas Bira), there were 1,382 toddlers, with 33 toddlers classified as wasting (acute malnutrition) and 43 as underweight in February. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding (ASI Eksklusif), mother’s knowledge, and Posyandu (integrated health service post) services with the nutritional status of toddlers in the working area of Puskesmas Bira, Makassar City. This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique was accidental sampling with a total sample of 94 respondents. The instrument used was a questionnaire, which was then analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with a significance level of p = 0.05. The results showed a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and toddler nutritional status with p= 0.034. There was also a significant relationship between mother's knowledge and toddler nutritional status with p = 0.000. Furthermore, Posyandu services were significantly related to toddler nutritional status with p = 0.000. The conclusion of this study is that exclusive breastfeeding, mother's knowledge, and Posyandu services are related to the nutritional status of toddlers. The recommendation is for every mother of toddlers to provide good nutritional intake and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. Furthermore, healthcare workers and Posyandu cadres are encouraged to continue providing education and management regarding nutritional issues before they become severe.
