There is a significant correlation between nutritional status with neurodevelopmental development in infants aged 0-6 months with significance value p = 0.000 ( 0.000 < 0.05 ) and the strength of correlation (r=0,552) is medium. Conclusion. There is a positive correlation between nutritional status with neurodevelopmental progress of infants aged 0-6 months who are exclusively breastfed .
