Summary
The government is currently promoting an exclusive breastfeeding program for newborn babies up to 6 months of age. Breast care steps, including massage and compressing which aims to make blood flow through the breast more smoothly and make the production of breast milk more smoothly and ready to be given immediately when the baby is born. Newborns already have immunity called immunoglobulin obtained from the mother through the placenta, but soon after the birth process this substance will drop dramatically, even though the baby's body has not been able to produce immunoglobulin itself well. In this situation, the immunoglobulin gap occurs in the baby's body, so the role of breast milk can erase or at least reduce the gap. Colostrum contains immunoglobulin substances 10-17 times more than soybean milk (Cahyadi, 2007)
