Abstract Stunting prevalence among children under 5 years remains high in Cambodia, affecting about one‐third of children. In most low‐ and middle‐income countries, linear growth faltering of young children starts in the womb. The 1,000‐days window of opportunity to improve child nutritional status includes pregnancy, as maternal nutritional status is an important determinant of birthweight and child development.
