Abstract
This study aimed to determine if NOD2 gene polymorphisms are found in neonatal with early breastfeeding initiation and neonatal without early breastfeeding initiation. This study used a Quasy Experiment type, with Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The sample in this study were 60 pregnant women; gestational age±34 and 36 weeks, normal delivery, and carried out early breastfeeding at the Siti Fatima maternal and child hospital and Public Health Center Bara-baraya. The sample was divided into two groups, i.e., the intervention group as many as 30 neonatal and the control group as many as 30 neonatal. Samples were taken from blood from the umbilical cord as much as three cc for the examination of NOD2 polymorphisms. The group that was given early breastfeeding initiation intervention had a polymorphism frequency of 1 person (3.33%), while the control group had a polymorphism frequency of 4 people (6.67%). The control group, i.e., infants who did not get early breastfeeding initiation had a higher frequency of NOD2 gene mutations compared to the group that received early breastfeeding initiation.
