Initiation Of Breastfeeding

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.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) in post sectio caesarea patients is the process of breastfeeding the baby to his mother immediately after birth by placing the baby on the mother's chest or abdomen so that skin-to-skin contact occurs and letting the baby find the mother's nipple and then breastfeed until satisfied. The benefits of IMD are very large for mothers and babies including accelerating the production of colostrum as a baby antibody so as to prevent infection, prevent hypothermia and hypoglycemia and prevent anemia due to bleeding after delivery. IMD becomes important to be carried out both for mothers with normal labor and with the act of sectio caesarea. This study aims to determine the effect of maternal age and education on the implementation of early initiation of breastfeeding (IMD) in post sectio caesarea patients. This type of research was analytic observational with cross sectional design. Data obtained from primary data 99 respondents by filling out a questionnaire and direct observation. The research site at Bina Sehat Jember Hospital in April 2021. Data obtained from the primary data of 99 respondents by filling out questionnaires and making direct observations. Data analysis used is bivariate analysis using SPSS statistical data processing tool. The results of the instrument test show that all variables were valid and reliable as a data collection tool. The results of data analysis showed that: 1) Age had no significant effect on the implementation of IMD in post sectio caesarea patients (p = 0.769) because the indication for delivery by sectio caesarea was not carried out in patients with high risk age, but also in productive age. 2) Education had no significant effect on the implementation of IMD in post sectio caesarea patients (p = 0.284) Because knowledge about the importance of early breastfeeding initiation and how to do it is not obtained during formal education but from non-formal education and other educational media, so that other educational media are needed in order to support the implementation of IMD, especially in post sectio cesarea patients.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

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

Background: Rates of early initiation of breastfeeding are low in Southeast Asia, despite evidence that increased initiation of early breastfeeding would lead to better long-term infant and child health and decrease inequities in long-term health and well-being. In response, a novel performance-based, baby-friendly hospital program designates hospitals that adhere to evidence-based early essential newborn care (EENC) and breastfeeding interventions as Centers of Excellence for Breastfeeding (COE). This study examined whether hospital participation in the program was associated with better breastfeeding outcomes. Methods: Hospitals (n = 28) were invited into the program in December 2018. Hospitals developed an improvement plan for promoting a breastfeeding-friendly environment and meeting the standards of the COE accreditation process and were enrolled on a rolling basis over the course of a year. Post-partum surveys were conducted with parents (n = 9585) from January 2019 through April 2020 to assess their breastfeeding and post-partum experience. Segmented regression models were used to assess how breastfeeding outcomes evolved before and after hospital enrollment in the COE program. Results: Enrollment was associated with a 6 percentage-point (95% CI: 3, 9) increase in the level of early initiation of breastfeeding, which continued to increase in the post-enrollment period, and a 5 percentage-point (95% CI: 2, 9) increase in the level of exclusive breastfeeding during hospital stay. We did not observe evidence that enrollment was immediately associated with receipt of lactation counseling or exclusive breastfeeding at survey time. Conclusion: The prevalence of early and exclusive breastfeeding increased after enrollment in the COE program, suggesting that the program has the potential to improve breastfeeding initiation rates and longer-term child health and well-being. Further research should be conducted to examine whether the program has an impact on the overall duration of breastfeeding.

Abstract Background The prevalence of early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) at 6 months remain low in the Philippines. To help meet the 90% early initiation of breastfeeding target and to improve infant and young child feeding practices in the Philippines, the Millennium Development Goals - Fund 2030 Joint Programme (JP) on Ensuring Food Security and Nutrition for Children 0–24 months old was implemented. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of visits by peer counselors during pregnancy and after delivery, and membership in breastfeeding support groups in promoting these optimal breastfeeding practices. Methods We used data from the Endline Survey of the JP to study the effects of prenatal and postnatal peer counselor visits, and membership in breastfeeding support groups, and their possible interactions with initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth among children aged 0 to 24 months and EBF at 6 months among children aged 6 to 24 months, while adjusting for confounding. We used logistic regression methods for survey data to assess these associations. Results Of the 2343 mother-infant pairs, only 1500 (63.1%) practiced early initiation of breastfeeding. Of the 1865 children aged 6 months or older, only 621 (34.7%) were exclusively breastfed at 6 months. After adjusting for confounding variables, there was no strong evidence that peer counselor visits were associated with early initiation or EBF at 6 months. However, members of breastfeeding support groups had 1.49 times higher odds of early initiation of breastfeeding (95% CI [Confidence Interval] 1.12, 1.98) and 1.65 times higher odds of EBF (95% CI 1.20, 2.24) compared to those who were not members of breastfeeding support groups. There was no interaction between the different exposure variables and early initiation and EBF at 6 months. Conclusions Our findings suggest breastfeeding support groups may be institutionalized to promote both early initiation of breastfeeding and EBF in the Philippines, while the role of peer counselors in promoting optimal breastfeeding behaviors should be further reviewed. Our suggestion to integrate non-healthcare professionals to promote early initiation of breastfeeding and EBF could be tested in future intervention studies.
