Children eat white rice without side dishes or what they usually call "empty rice" in Zanegi Village, Animha District, Merauke Regency, Papua, Thursday (11/10/2022).

In every portion of food as a complement to breast milk (ASI) for infants, the intake of animal protein should be the “lead player” consumed. The other intakes such as fruits and vegetables merely serve as “reserve players”. This is important to ensure the optimum growth of babies. The risk of undernourishment and stunting can also be prevented.
