Background: One of the factors that influence uterine involution is early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD). When breastfeeding occurs stimulation and the release of hormones, including oxytocin, which functions in addition to stimulating contraction of the smooth muscles of the breast, also causes uterine muscle contraction and retraction. This will put pressure on the blood vessels resulting in reduced blood supply to the uterus. This process helps to reduce the placenta implantation site or site as well as reduce bleeding. The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is 250 / 100,000 (KH). one of them is caused by bleeding. One of the causes of bleeding is the sub-involution of the uterus. Uterine involution or uterine contraction is a process by which the uterus returns to its pre-pregnancy state.Purpose: To determine the influencing of early initiation of breastfeeding on uterine involution.Methods: The study was carried out by early initiation of breastfeeding and observation and measuring the height of the uterine fundus (TFU) to assess uterine involution. The design of this study used an analytical survey method with a Cohort research design. This study used primary data. The population in this study were all women with normal gestational age at the Independent Practice Midwives (BPM) Choirul Mala and PMB Fauziah Hatta. The sampling technique was non propability sampling with purposive technique. The sample size was n1 = n2 for each group of 48 people. The analysis used univariate and bivariate with Chi Square. The study was conducted at BPM Choirul Mala and BPM Fauziah Hatta from December 2018 to February 2019.Results: The results of data analysis from 96 respondents showed that the proportion of non-initiation of early breastfeeding with abnormal uterine involution was 45.8% smaller than those with early initiation of breastfeeding as much as 0%. The results of the Chi-square statistical test showed that the p value = 0.00 was smaller than 0.05, this indicated that there was an influencing of early initiation of breastfeeding on uterine involution with an OR: 0.083.Conclusion: There was an influencing of early initiation of breastfeeding on uterine involution in BPM Choirul Mala and BPM Fauziah Hatta in 2019 Suggestion: It is expected that midwives, to carry out their role in carrying out midwifery care by providing education to pregnant women about early initiation of breastfeeding and its benefits and consistently doing IMD in maternity mothers for at least 1 hour.  Keywords: Early Initiation of Breastfeeding, Uterine Involution ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi involusi uterus adalah Inisiasi menyusu Dini (IMD). Saat menyusui terjadi rangsangan dan dikeluarkannya hormon antara lain oksitosin yangberfungsi selain merangsang kontraksi otot-otot polos payudara, juga menyebabkan terjadinya kontraksi dan retraksi otot uterus. Hal ini akan menekan pembuluh darah yang mengakibatkan berkurangnya suplai darah ke uterus. Proses ini membantu untuk mengurangi situs atau tempat implantasi plasenta serta mengurangi perdarahan. Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) di Indonesia adalah 250/100.000 (KH). salah satunya disebabkan oleh perdarahan. Penyebab perdarahan salah satunya yaitu sub involusi uterus. Involusi uterus atau pengerutan uterus merupakan suatu proses dimana uterus kembali ke kondisi sebelum hamil.Tujuan : Mengetahui pengaruh inisiasi menyusu dini terhadap involusi uterus.Metode : Penellitian dilakukan dengan cara melakukan inisiasi menyusu dini dan observasi serta mengukur Tinggi Fundus Uteri (TFU) untuk menilai involusi uteri. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey analitik dengan rancangan penelitian Cohort. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu bersalin normal dengan usia kehamilan aterm di Bidan Praktik Mandiri (BPM) Choirul Mala dan PMB Fauziah Hatta. Tehnik Pengambilan sampel secaranon propability sampling dengan teknik purposive. Besar sampel n1 =n2 masing-masing 48 orang setiap kelompok.Analisa yang digunakan univariat dan bivariat dengan Chi Square. Penelitian dilakukan di BPM Choirul Mala dan BPM Fauziah Hatta pada bulan Desember 2018 sampai dengan Februari 2019.Hasil : Hasil analisis data dari 96 responden, didapatkanproporsi tidak inisiasi menyusu dini dengan involusi uterus tidak normal sebanyak 45,8 % lebih kecil daripada yang inisiasi menyusu dini sebanyak 0 %. Hasil uji statistik Chi-squarediperoleh nilai p value = 0,00 lebih kecil dari  0,05 hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh inisiasi menyusu dini terhadap involusi uterus dengan nilai OR : 0,083.Kesimpulan : Ada pengaruh inisiasi menyusu dini terhadap involusi uterus di BPM Choirul Mala dan BPM Fauziah Hatta tahun 2019Saran : Diharapkan kepada bidan, untuk menjalankan perannya dalam melakukan asuhan kebidanan dengan memberikan edukasi pada pada ibu hamil tentang inisiasi menyusu dini dan manfaatnya serta secara konsisten melakukan IMD pada ibu bersalin mimimal selama 1 jam. Kata Kunci : Inisiasi Menyusu Dini, Involusi Uterus

Perdarahan merupakan penyebab utama kematian ibu di Kabupaten Tegal pada Tahun 2017. Berdasarkan hasil survei di Puskesmas Slawi tahun 2018, terdapat 30 ibu bersalin yang mengalami perdarahan postpartum. Inisiasi Menyusu Dini (IMD) adalah perilaku pencarian puting payudara ibu sesaat setelah bayi lahir. Melaksanakan IMD akan menstimulasi produksi hormon oksitosin secara alami. Hormon Oksitosin ini membantu uterus berkontraksi, sehingga dapat mengontrol perdarahan nifas.Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis pengaruh IMD terhadap kontraksi uterus pada ibu nifas di Puskesmas Slawi. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah ibu yang bersalin di Puskesmas Slawi periode bulan Januari-Desember tahun 2018 sebanyak 215 responden, dan sampel sebanyak 140 responden. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan pendekatan case control. Berdasarkan perhitungan Chi Square dengan α = 0,05 diperoleh nilai p sebesar 0,029. Karena nilai p < α berarti secara statistik hasil pengujian signifikan, berarti ada hubungan antara variabel, dan hasil uji statistik pengaruh dengan Regresi Logistik, diperoleh nilai Sig. 0,029, berarti ada pengaruh antara variabel dengan R Square 0,034, berarti bahwa variabel IMD berpengaruh terhadap kontraksi uterus sebesar 3,4%. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini ada hubungan dan ada pengaruh IMD terhadap kontraksi uterus ibu nifas di Puskesmas Slawi Kabupaten Tegal. Kata kunci : inisiasi menyusu dini;  kontraksi uterusTHE EFFECT OF EARLY INITIATION OF BREASTFEEDING TOWARDS UTERINE CONTRACTION FOR POSTPARTUM MOTHER AT PUSKESMAS SLAWI TEGAL REGENCY Hemorrhage is the main cause of maternal mortality in Tegal regency 2017.

Abstract Background : The world is now suffering from malnutrition and remains one of the major causes of under-five mortality. Children from developing countries, including Ethiopia also suffer from undernutrition due to suboptimal breastfeeding practice. Hence, the study aims were to assess early initiation of breastfeeding among children aged less than two years, months in West Belessa district, North West Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January to February 2019 in the West Belessa district. A total of 569 Children was selected by a simple random sampling technique. The data were collected by an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. Data were entered and analyzed by using Epi-Info version 7 and SPPS version 20, respectively. Bi-variable logistic regression analysis was used to check predictor variables associated with the dependent variable. Variables having a p-value of less than 0.20 in the bi-variable analysis were fitted into the multivariable model. Multivariable binary logistic regression with a 95% confidence interval and Odds Ratio (OR) were computed. Variables having p-value < 0.05 were taken as significantly associated with the dependent variables. Result : The prevalence of EIBF was 77.7 % (95%CI, 74.3-81.0). Age of the mother (AOR= 2.76, 95%CI (1.21, 6.27)), postnatal Visit (AOR= 1.85, 95%CI (1.03, 3.85)), and Antenatal care (AOR= 2.58, 95%CI (1.18, 9.94)) was significantly associated with EIBF. Conclusion and Recommendation: We observed, the prevalence of early initiation of Breastfeeding was low in West Belessa District. Age of the mother, Antenatal and postnatal care were associated with EIBF.

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in preventing morbidity and mortality in infants and young children. However, exclusive breastfeeding coverage remains low, especially among working mothers. This study aimed to examine the relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in Bantul District, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population were all women in reproductive age who worked in middle and large companies. Samples included mothers whose infants were aged six to 12 months and were selected by probability proportional to size sampling technique. Main outcome was exclusive breastfeeding, while the independent variable was the early initiation of breastfeeding. Statistical analysis were descriptive statistics test, chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression at the level of significance of 0.05. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding coverage was around 22%, whilst the early initiation of breastfeeding coverage was 10%. Early initiation of breastfeeding was associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice (adjusted OR = 2.93; 95% CI: 1.04 - 8.28). Variables that were not significantly related to exclusive breastfeeding included being a first-time mother, maternal age, maternal educational level, breastfeeding counselling during antenatal visits, and delivery methods. Conclusions: Early initiation of breastfeeding is associated with higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers. To increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage, particularly among employed women, it is highly recommended to enhance early initiation of breastfeeding program.

Background: Early-initiation of breastfeeding is putting the newborns to the breast within the first hour of life. It is the first critical time they contact their mother outside of the womb. The current study aimed to assess the early initiation of breastfeeding in the study setting. Objectives: To assess the level of early initiation of breastfeeding and its associated factors among mothers who had a baby of less than the age of 24 months in Jeju Woreda, Arsi Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study conducted involving 487 mothers from September 18 to October 09, 2019. A multistage sampling technique was employed. First, the setting stratification done in urban and rural settings. Second, ten kebeles selected from both strata. The study participants identified by systematic random sampling technique using kebele log-books registration list as a scheme. The collected data were entered into Epi Info version 7.1.5.0 and exported to SPSS version 21.0.0.0 to analyze. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression used to determine relations between independent factors and early initiation of breastfeeding. Nine variables became eligible for multivariate analysis at a p - value less than 0.05 in bivariate. The final analyses done the significance of association decided using AOR with its 95% CI, and p - value at less than 0.05. Results: A 97% response rate achieved in this study. The prevalence of early breastfeeding initiation was 74.5%. In multivariate analysis variables namely, mothers whose age category was 35 years and above (AOR = 2.34, 95% CI: (1.07, 5.11)), Pre-lacteal feeding (AOR = 0.37 95% CI (0.17, 0.79)), postpartum advice (AOR = 1.72, 95% CI (1.01, 2.95)) had a significant association. Conclusion and recommendations: The prevalence of early breastfeeding initiation was (74.5%). The finding was low compared to the world health organization recommendation. A working towards discouraging pre-lacteal feeding and strengthening postnatal advice and focusing on ways to better reach young mothers were the recommendations to bring the prevalence in the study area to the recommended level.

The policy of early initiation of breastfeeding has been socialized in Indonesia since August 2007 (Roesli, 2008). The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that all babies get colostrum, namely breast milk on the first and second days to fight various infections and get exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (Ministry of Health 2012). The IMD implementation policy is also expected to reduce infant mortality (IMD). In infant mortality, 40% occurs in the first month of life and early initiation of breastfeeding can reduce these risk factors for death, thereby reducing 22% for 28-day infant mortality. The research design was a cross sectional study using primary data (questionnaire). This sample uses accidental sampling method. The results showed that of the 87 respondents at Puskesmas Palmerah, the age of 20-35 years old mothers who had good knowledge about IMD were 30 respondents (34.5%), respondents with high education (SMA-PT) had good knowledge about IMD as many as 51 respondents ( 58.62%), respondents who work and have good knowledge about IMD are 24 respondents (27.59%), respondents who are experienced and have good knowledge about IMD are 42 respondents (48.28%), respondents who receive information and have Good knowledge about IMD was 69 (79.31%), while the related variables included age, education and experience with a P value of 0.384 greater than α, namely 0.05. Conclusion. Characteristics of age, education level, experience are closely related to the knowledge possessed by pregnant women, especially those related to knowledge of IMD. Meanwhile, the factor that is not related to the success of IMD is the source of information. Suggestion. There needs to be an effort to do outreach activities on Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) or supporting facilities to increase the knowledge of pregnant women, especially in the third timester.Keywords: Knowledge, IMD, Characteristics
