ABSTRAK Tumbuh kembang bayi dan balita yang sehat menjadi prioritas utama dalam menilai kesehatan dan kecerdasan anak. Tumbuh kembang terdiri dari fisik, intelektual dan emosional. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tumbuh kembang anak antara lain genetik, lingkungan dan perilaku. Di desa Oelnasi juga terdapat 4 buah posyandu; Tetapi kenyataannya masih banyak anak balita yang tidak datang ke Posyandu. Cakupan pelayanan balita hanya 60,7%. Data D/S Desa Oelnasi tahun 2021 sebesar 60,7%. Pemantauan tumbuh kembang bayi balita secara harian merupakan bentuk partisipasi ibu dalam keluarga untuk perawatan anak balita. Jika beban kerja rumah tangga sudah banyak bahkan berlebihan maka hal-hal lain termasuk pemantauan dan pengisian instrument harian pada buku KIA akan terabaikan. Ibu-ibu lebih cenderung melaksanakan pekerjaan pokok rumah tangga. Ibu yang memiliki bayi balita sebanyak 44 org yang di ikutkan dalam pendidikan dan pendampingan pemantauan tumbuh kembang anak 85% berusia 20-30 tahun. Pengetahuan ibu bayi balita tentang tumbuh kembang bayi balita minim walaupun sudah dibekali dengan buku KIA. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pendidikan dan pendampingan pemantauan tumbuh kembang bayi balita. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan ibu-ibu bayi balita terkait tumbuh kembang.

Growth and development consists of physical, intellectual and emotional. Factors that influence the growth and development of children include genetics, environment and behavior. In the village of Oelnasi there are also 4 posyandu; But in reality there are still many children under five who do not come to Posyandu. The service coverage for toddlers is only 60.7%. Oelnasi Village D/S data for 2021 is 60.7%. Monitoring the growth and development of toddlers on a daily basis is a form of mother's participation in the family for the care of toddlers. If the household workload is too much or even excessive then other things including monitoring and filling in the daily instruments in the MCH handbook will be neglected. Mothers are more likely to do household chores. Mothers who have toddlers as many as 44 people who are included in education and monitoring of child development monitoring are 85% aged 20-30 years. The knowledge of mothers of infants under five about the growth and development of infants under five is minimal even though they have been equipped with the KIA book. This community service activity aims to provide education and assistance in monitoring the growth and development of babies under five. There is an increase in the knowledge and abilities of mothers of toddlers related to growth and development. Keywords: Education, Mentoring, Monitoring of Growth and Development, Infants Under Five.
