Giving SFP in the form of eggs to stunting toddlers for one month shows the improvement in nutritional status (height for age Z-score/HAZ) 5 . Another study with one egg a day for six to nine months had a significant effect on increasing the linear growth and reducing stunting in the Andean population in Ecuador 6 .The provision of milk for toddler showed positive relationship between milk consumption and child growth 7 .A research that was conducted in Southern Ethiopia showed that giving chicken eggs to toddlers aged 6-12 months increased their hemoglobin levels and decreased the incidence of anemia 8 .…”
