Hubungan Peran Suami Dengan Sikap Ibu Dalam Proses Menyusui Bayi Usia 0-6 Bulan

Abstract

Feeding babies directly from the mother's own breast is breastfeeding. When breastfeeding, mothers need the support  of their husband because breastfeeding is not carried out by the mother and baby alone. A husband who is not supportive can affect the mother's emotions, leading  baby blues. Emotional support is needed by couples / wives because emotional support affects thoughts, feelings, and sensations that greatly affect the release of oxytocin. Therefore, a husband has a very important role to keep the oxytocin reflex smooth This study aims to determine the relationship between the husband's role and the mother's attitude in the process of breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months. The research design uses correlational research with a cross-sectional approach. The population and sample were all mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months at Posyandu in Tales Village. Using a total sampling technique, 30 respondents were obtained. The variables consist of the independent variable, namely the husband's role in mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months and the dependent variable, namely the mother's attitude in the process of breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months. Data were collected using a questionnaire on the husband's role in mothers breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months and the mother's attitude in the process of breastfeeding babies aged 0-6 months.
