Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between feeding practices and the nutritional status of children during the 1000 First Days of Life (HPK) in Resident Fence Water, Region Work Community Health Center Want to Jaya, Aceh Besar Regency. Method: This study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 273 mothers with toddlers aged 7–24 months, with a sample of 73 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and proportional random sampling techniques. Data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and analyzed univariately and bivariately. Results: The results of the study showed a relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and nutritional status based on weight/age (p = 0.012) and height/age (p = 0.049). However, there was no relationship between breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and nutritional status. Additionally, PASI showed no significant relationship with nutritional status (p > 0.05). Novelty: This study highlights the importance of early breastfeeding initiation in improving nutritional status during the 1000 HPK and emphasizes the need for strengthening nutrition education and promotion in health centers, particularly regarding early breastfeeding initiation and appropriate feeding practices to improve children's nutritional status.
