Stunting, a condition of impaired growth in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition, remains a global health issue, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. Factors such as poor nutrition, frequent infections, and inadequate healthcare contribute to its prevalence. Supplemental feeding, especially with foods rich in calories, protein, and micronutrients, is a proven approach to improving the nutritional status of stunted children. This study reviews literature from 2015 to 2024, utilizing databases like ScienceDirect, PubMed, Springer, Sagepub, and Google Scholar, with keywords including "stunting," "impact," and "supplemental feeding." Excluded are studies with unclear methodologies or insufficient data on the effects of supplemental feeding. Findings indicate that nutritional interventions involving protein, carbohydrate, and micronutrient-rich foods (e.g., eggs, milk, legumes, and zinc) effectively support linear growth and improve nutritional outcomes. A holistic approach integrating local food and micronutrient supplementation offers a sustainable solution to reduce stunting and enhance child nutrition in resource-limited settings
