Summary
Departemen Kesehatan (Depkes) menuju Indonesia Sehat 2025, segala aspek kehidupan manusia Indonesia yang berpengaruh terhadapkesehatan perlu mendapat perhatian, di antaranya mengenai kesehatan ibu dan anak. Salahsatu upaya program kesehatan ibu dan anak adalah pemberian Air Susu Ibu (ASI) eksklusifpada bayi sampai usia enam bulan.WHO (World Health Organization) merekomendasikan ibu di seluruh dunia untuk menyusui secara eksklusif selama enam bulan pertama untuk mencapai pertumbuhan optimal, pembangunan dan kesehatan. Bayi yang diberi susu formula berkemungkinan untuk dirawat di rumah sakit karena infeksi bakteri hampir 4 kali lebih sering dibanding bayi yang diberi ASI eksklusif. Realisasinya tidaklah mudah.Khusus pada ibu-ibu yang bekerja, dengan singkatnya masa cuti hamil dan melahirkan bahkan sebelum pemberian ASI eksklusif berakhir, ibu sudah harus kembali bekerja meninggalkan bayinya. Banyak kantor atau institusi kerja tidak mendukung program pemberian ASI. Tidak ada upaya penyiapan ruangan khusus untuk tempat menyusui atau memompa ASI saat ibu bekerja. Apalagi di daerah perkotaan harga sewa lahan yang sangat tinggi tampaknya para pengusaha tidak rela keuntungannya diberikan untuk tempat untuk kepentingan pemberian ASI pada bayi.
