The problem
Intervention: Exclusive breastfeeding (no other foods or liquids given to the infant)
Who it was tested with: Mothers with children aged 6–24 months in Cikunir Village, Indonesia (n=52).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"The population is mothers who have babies aged 6-24 months in Cikunir Village, the sampling technique used purposive samples, samples were 52, the data presentation method was in tabular form, the analysis used descriptive and analytical analysis." The study measured associations between breastfeeding practices and stunting outcomes but without a comparison group or longitudinal design; it cannot prove that exclusive breastfeeding prevents stunting, only that they are statistically associated.
Small sample size (n=52) from one village limits generalisability. Purposive sampling introduces selection bias. Cross-sectional design cannot determine causation. No measurement of potential confounders such as maternal education, household income, or food security.
