Background: WHO and UNICEF recommend that newborns receive exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months in early life until the age of two years. The low level of exclusive breastfeeding in the community is caused by various challenges such as the assumption that the supply of breast milk is insufficient and the lack of knowledge about natural methods to increase breast milk production. Community service is carried out in RW II, Siwalankerto, Surabaya. Method: Using a natural approach, educational workshops and direct training in preparing soy milk, aimed at mothers, pregnant women, and posyandu cadres. This program focuses on the use of soy-based products, especially "SAKESI" (Soy Milk), as a natural method to increase lactation. Pre- and post-intervention surveys were conducted to assess changes in knowledge and behavior regarding exclusive breastfeeding and the use of soy products. The study findings showed significant improvements in both knowledge and practical application of these methods, indicating the effectiveness of the program in promoting breastfeeding practices. Conclusion: The project highlights the potential of an affordable local resource such as soybeans to address public health challenges related to maternal and child nutrition and also the importance of ongoing community education and support to sustain these improvements.

Breastfeeding (ASI) and complementary feeding (MP-ASI) are determinants of a baby's growth and development starting from the period 0 days or the day after birth until the age of 2 years. Providing nutritional intake that is less than required can cause long-term growth and development in children, which is permanent and difficult to repair.

HIV/AIDS poses a considerable public health challenge on a global scale, and Indonesia is no exception. The HIV virus can be transmitted through several pathways, including mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, as well as through unprotected sexual intercourse and the use of non-sterile medical equipment. Studies have shown that delivering a baby via caesarean section can lower the risk of HIV transmission compared to vaginal delivery. Additionally, breastfeeding from HIV-positive mothers may heighten the chances of passing the virus to their infants, particularly under certain conditions. To reduce the risk of HIV transmission, preventive measures such as antiretroviral therapy (ARV) are vital, especially for serodiscordant couples—those in which one partner is HIV-positive while the other is not. Furthermore, social support and counseling play critical roles in encouraging adherence to treatment regimens among patients. This research aims to deepen our understanding of HIV transmission and to investigate effective preventive strategies that can significantly lower the risk of infection.
