Data was collected using a questionnaire through FGD together with 50 health cadres, 2 village midwives and 3 representatives from the Magetan Regency Health Office, expert consuls followed by the revision and finalization of lactation cadre assistance guidelines. Results: This research produced guidelines for assisting lactation cadres, the results of the evaluation of guidelines for assisting lactation cadres through the process of development, formulation of strategic issues, and FGD.
