Indonesia's underweight children prevalence is 17% and 14% in central Java. Underweight in children not treated immediately leads to an increase in fatal numbers until the death of a child. One way to overcome the underweight is to provide balanced nutrition. The complementary feeding is divided into two, which is conventional, and the baby led weaning. The BLW is a step of providing food that has a soft texture so that the child can select food and eat for himself. Knowledge is needed as a basis for the early completion of the individual in providing for the nutritional needs of the child. Counseling is one of the educational approaches as attempting to change human behavior in a better direction.
