<![CDATA[The First 1000 Days of Life is a golden period in which a very rapid process of growth and development occurs starting from the fetus until the child is two years old and does not occur in other age groups. Efforts for maternal and child health, healthy babies and optimal growth and development and to maintain the quality of Indonesia's human resources, productivity and national competitiveness require Communication, Information and Education media as well as effective and efficient record keeping. So the Ministry of Health stipulates that the Maternal and Child Health Book (KIA Book) is a tool for recording maternal and child health services since pregnant women, childbirth, postpartum, and babies born reach the age of 5 years, including services for immunization, nutrition, child growth and development and family planning. The Ministry of Health has printed and distributed the KIA Book to the regions as much as 94% of the target number of pregnant women, and all Community Health Centers have received the KIA Book distributed by the District/City Health Office. Data from the national health survey (2016) showed that 81.5% of pregnant women said they had a KIA Book, but only 60.5% of them could show a KIA Book. The method for this community service activity is a form of health promotion program and community empowerment through counseling to pregnant women in utilizing the KIA Book. Counseling on the use of the KIA book for optimizing the first 1000 days of life in Palam Village resulted in an increase in knowledge of pregnant women after counseling was carried out. Good knowledge can increase the utilization of the KIA book to be more effective and optimal. There is a need for further evaluation related to pregnant women's knowledge about using the KIA Book.
