Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this systematic review is to examine a study of early initiation of breastfeeding for the development of neonatal intestinal microbiota. MethodThe method used was an online database that has been published. Keywords used include breast milk composition; compare breastfed and formula-fed (breastmilk and formula milk); gut microbiota in infants; early initiation. ResultsBased on the review of 12 selected articles, it was found that breast milk contains various prebiotics that can be transmitted to infants through breastfeeding. The dominant prebiotics is Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Staphylococcus spp. which has different amounts depending on the type of breast milk provided. ConclusionBreastfeeding has many benefits, especially for the baby's immunity and digestion. Giving early initiation of breastfeeding means giving breastfeeding early in life so that it greatly affects the development of good bacterial colonies in infants.
