Background Infants who are breastfed receive natural protectionagainst certain infections. Despite the known benefits of exclusivebreastfeeding, many Indonesian mothers choose to supplementwith formula. There have been few Indonesian studies on theeffect of exclusive breastfeeding in reducing acute respiratoryinfections in low birth weight infants in their first four monthsof life.Objective To investigate the effect of exclusive breastfeeding inreducing the incidence of acute respiratory infections in low birthweight infants during their first four months of life.Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study on low birthweight babies in Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar. The total numberof subjects was 181. The incidence of acute respiratory infectionsduring the first 4 months of life and the duration of breast feedingwere assessed by questionnaires. Data was analyzed Mth Chisquare and logistic regression tests.Results Infants who were exclusively breastfed for 4 months hada lower risk of acute respiratory infection than those who were notexclusively breastfed (RR 0.07; 95% CI 0.03 to 0.14; P􀁄O.OOI).After adjustment for gestational age, parity, maternal nutritionalstatus, family size, smoke exposure, and history of atopy, infantswho were exclusively breastfed still had a lower risk for acuterespiratory infection than those who were not exclusively breastfed(RR 0.06; 95% CI 0.03 to 0.13; P 􀁄 0.001)Conclusion Exclusive breastfeeding reduced the risk of acuterespiratory infection in low birth weight infants in the first fourmonths after birth.

Pneumonia is the premiere killer of toddlers in the world and in Indonesia. In Indonesia pneumonia is the cause of 15% of infant mortality is estimated as many as 922,000 under-fives in 2015. Puskesmas Kamonji is a health center that has the highest number of pneumonia cases in the city of Palu is 422 cases in 2015. Based on evidence that the risk factor of pneumonia is the lack of breastfeeding exclusive, malnutrition, indoor air pollution, low birth weight (LBW), population density, and lack of measles immunization. The purpose of this study is known factors associated with the incidence of pneumonia, namely Exclusive breastfeeding and history of low birth weight (LBW). The type of research used is analytical survey with case control approach. The samples in this study were all mothers who had children under 12-59 months in the Kamonji Puskemas Working Area consisted of 70 samples consisting of 35 case samples and 35 control samples. This research uses Chi-square statistical analysis with 5% error rate (α = 0,05) and trust level 95%. The results showed that exclusive breastfeeding (P value = 0.147) and low birth weight (P Value = 1,000) did not correlate with pneumonia occurrence in children aged 12-59 months. The conclusion in this study was no association between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of pneumonia and no association between low birth weight infants and the incidence of pneumonia. Suggestions for Health Officers to continue to give counseling about the importance of healthy living behavior teaches the community how important to wash hands with soap and keep the nutritional status of toddlers is always good.  Keywords: Exclusive Breast Milk, Low birth weight, Pneumonia

The association between birth weight and infant mortality from infectious diseases was investigated in a population-based case-control study in two urban areas in southern Brazil. All deaths of children, seven to 364 days of age, occurring in a year were studied and the parents of the 357 infants dying of an infectious cause were interviewed, as were the parents of two neighborhood control infants for each case. Low birth weight infants (<2,500 g) were found, after allowing for confounding factors, to be 2.3 (90% confidence interval = 1.6 to 3.4) times more likely to die of an infection than those of higher birth weight. The odds ratios were 2.0 (1.1 to 3.6) for deaths due to diarrhea, 1.9 (1.0 to 3.6) for respiratory infections, and 5.0 (1.3 to 18.6) for other infections. These estimates of the risks associated with low birth weight are considerably lower than those from studies in developed countries.

Background: Establishment and maintenance of breastfeeding in preterm low birth weight (PT LBW) neonates after discharge from hospital is challenging and may be affected by multiple factors. We designed this study to find out the association of these factors with breastfeeding in our population. Objectives: To observe the rate of exclusive breasrfeeding (EBF) among the PT LBW neonates at one month follow up and to identify the factors that are related with the maintenance of EBF. Materials and Methods: This observational study was conducted during the period from July 2009 to October 2011 in Enam Medical College Hospital (EMCH). Preterm infants ? 34 wks gestation, stayed in the NICU for >3 days and discharged home were eligible. Mothers were interviewed at one month follow-up after discharge. Infants who were given only breast milk up to 4 weeks were termed as “Exclusively breastfed (EBF)” and who were given formula milk in addition were labeled as “Nonexclusively breastfed (NEBF)”. Baseline information regarding maternal demography, delivery of the baby, feeding during discharge was taken from database of neonatal ward. Results: Among 89 infants, 37 (42%) were female and 52 (58%) were male, including 5 twins. Gestational age ranged from 29 to 34 weeks (mean 32±2), and birth weight ranged from 1100 to 2200 grams (mean 1763±20 g). At one month follow up visit 19% (17/89) were found to be NEBF and 81% were EBF. Factors significantly associated with EBF were shorter duration of hospital stay (p=0.001), method of feeding at discharge (p=0.001), mode of delivery (p=0.004), below average socio-economic status (p=0.03), maternal education (p=0.02), number of antenatal visits (p=0.02) and larger birth weight (p=0.038). Conclusion: A variety of factors may affect EBF in PT LBW babies. Extensive counseling of the mothers during antenatal visits, counseling of the family members regarding the advantages of exclusive breastfeeding is necessary. Support should be provided for the mothers both in the hospital and also outside the hospital for a long period. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jemc.v1i1.11135J Enam Med Col 2011; 1(1): 24-30

ABSTRACT  Background: One of nutritional problems in toddlers that requires more attention is stunting based on the TB/U index. Stunting is a condition of short or too short body that it exceeds the SD-2 deficit below the median length or height of body that affect to the failure of reaching normal and healthy height which is  associated with the child's age. Stunting is a condition where chronic malnutrition is caused by poor nutritional intake, LBW (Low Birth Weight) and a history of disease. It includes unbalanced food and inappropriate exclusive breastfeeding, which is caused by limited food consumption.  Purpose: To determine the relationship of breastfeeding and low birth weight infants to the incidence of stunting in infants aged 12-36 months in the working area of Puskesmas Ulaweng in 2019.  Method: This study used a cross sectional design. The population were 105 young people aged 12-36 months who were registered at the Posyandu. The sample in this study were 52 people. Purposive sampling technique sampling and data collection by questionnaire were applied. Data were processed using SPSS 20 and univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square statistical tests, and presented in the form of frequency distribution tables.  Result: There is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the occurrence of Stunting, where the value (p) =.000, there is a relationship between LBW and the event of Stunting, where the value (p) =.000. Conclusion: There is a relationship of breastfeeding and low birth weight to stunting in the work area of Puskesmas Ulaweng. Suggestion: Further increase counseling on WUS about breastfeeding and stunting  Keywords: Breastfeeding, Low Birth Weight, and Stunting Event  ABSTRAK  Latar Belakang : Salah satu masalah gizi pada balita yang mendapat banyak perhatian yaitu stunting berdasarkan indeks TB/U. Stunting merupakan keadaan tubuh yang pendek dan sangat pendek hingga melampaui deficit -2 SD di bawah median panjang atau tinggi badan, yang mengakibatkan kegagalan dalam mencapai tinggi badan yang normal dan sehat sesuai usia anak. Stunting merupakan suatu kondisi dimana kurang gizi kronis yang disebabkan oleh asupan gizi yang kurang, BBLR (Berat Badan Lahir Rendah) dan riwayat penyakit. Asupan makanan yang tidak seimbang termasuk dalam pemberian ASI eksklusif yang tidak sesuai yang diakibatkan karena keterbatasan makanan yang dikonsumsi.  Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan pemberian asi dan berat badan lahir rendah dengan kejadian stunting pada balita usia 12-36 bulan di wilayah kerja puskesmas ulaweng tahun 2019.  Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Populasi berjumlah 105 orang balia usia 1236 bulan yang tercatat di posyandu. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 52 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling, pengumpulan data dengan kuesinoer. Data diolah menggunakan SPSS versi 20 dan analisa secara univariat dan bivariat dengan uji statistic chi-square serta disajikan dalam bentuk tabel distribusi frekuensi.  Hasil: Ada hubungan pemberian ASI Eksklusif dengan Kejadian Stunting dimana diperoleh nilai (p) = ,000 ada hubungan BBLR dengan kejadian Stunting dimana diperoleh nilai (p) = ,000.  Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan Pemberian ASI dan Berat Badan Lahir Rendah dengan kejadian stunting di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Ulaweng. Saran : Lebih meningkatkan penyuluhan pada WUS tentang pemberian ASI dan Stunting  Kata Kunci : Pemberian ASI, Berat Badan Lahir Rendah dan Kejadian Stunting

Stunting is a nutritional problem that hinders the growth process of toddlers. Toddler stunting has a negative impact that will last in the next life. According to UNICEF (2011), the nutritional status of children can be directly affected by factors, namely gender and low birth weight. Indirect factors, namely health status, infectious diseases/ Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), diarrhea with low family income, parenting patterns, and not exclusive breastfeeding. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, family income, and infectious diseases with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months in the Mangasa Health Center Work Area in 2020. This was a case control study involving a total of 30 stunted and non-stunded children in each. The independent variables were low birth weight breastfeeding exclusive, family income, and infectious diseases, while the dependent variable is stunting. The study results show that children with low birth weight were like to have stunting 5.7 times than normal birth weight (p=0.007). Similarly, children with formula and mixed feeding were likely to have stunting 5 times (p=0.015) than exclusively breastfed children. Poor family income and the presence of infectious disease were also contributed to stunting (OR= 7; p= 0.025, OR= 5.7, p= 0.007, respectively). In conclusion, the family income variable is the variable that has the most incidence of stunting among children aged 24 – 59 months.

Background Pneumonia has been one of the serious problems for children under five in Indonesia. Imbalanced interactions among host factors, agents, and environments influence incidence of pneumonia. Objective To determine the risks of the host related to the incidence of pneumonia in children aged 3-59 months in Pediatrics Department, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital during 2011-2012. Methods This was a case control study on medical records of patients with respiratory infections in Pediatrics Department, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. We grouped patients with pneumonia as the case group and patients with other respiratory infections as the control group. The data were statistically processed to calculate odds ratios and P values. Results There were 326 subjects reviewed, 163 in the case group and 163 in the control group. Host factors that increased the risk of pneumonia were: low birth weight (OR=3.10; 95%CI 1.34 to 6.86), inadequate exclusive breastfeeding (OR=1.7; 95%CI 1.09 to 2.64), malnutrition (OR=3.44; 95%CI 2.12 to 5.58) and incomplete immunization in a certain period of age (OR=2.70; 95%CI 1.72 to 4.24). Existed comorbidity was unrelated to the incidence of pneumonia (OR=1.53; 95%CI 0.86 to 2.71). Conclusion Low birth weight, inadequate exclusive breastfeeding, malnutrition, and incomplete immunization in a certain period of age increase the risk of pneumonia.
