Exclusive breastfeeding among Indonesian working mothers: does early initiation of breastfeeding matter?

BackgroundEarly initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is a starting point that lays the foundation for breastfeeding and bonding between mother and baby. Meanwhile, working mothers are one of the vulnerable groups for the success of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). The study analyzed the role of EIBF on EBF among Indonesian working mothers.MethodsThe cross-sectional study examined secondary data from the 2021 Indonesian National Nutritional Status Survey. The study analyzed 4,003 respondents. We examined EBF practice as an outcome variable and EIBF as an exposure variable. We included nine control variables (residence, maternal age, marital, education, prenatal classes, wealth, infant age, sex, and birth weight). All variables were assessed by questionnaire. The study employed a binary logistic regression test in the last stage.ResultsThe result showed that the proportion of EBF among working mothers in Indonesia in 2021 was 51.9%. Based on EIBF, Indonesian working mothers with EIBF were 2.053 times more likely than those without to perform EBF (p < 0.001; AOR 2.053; 95% CI 2.028–2.077). Moreover, the study also found control variables related to EBF in Indonesia: residence, maternal age, marital, education, prenatal classes, wealth, infant age, sex, and birth weight.ConclusionThe study concluded that EIBF was related to EBF. Indonesian working mothers with EIBF were two times more likely than those without to perform EBF. The government needs to release policies that strengthen the occurrence of EIBF in working mothers to increase EBF coverage.

History of Risky Pregnancies and Failure of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Indonesia

The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding for infants in Indonesia still needs to be higher compared to the national target (80%). Low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is a risk factor for various nutritional problems in toddlers. The causes of failure of exclusive breastfeeding are multifactorial, including risky pregnancy. This study aims to determine the association of risky pregnancies with the failure of exclusive breastfeeding using national data from the 2017 Indonesian Health Demographic Survey (IDHS) with a cross-sectional design. The study sample that met the criteria was 6,689 mothers with children aged 6-23 months. The independent variable is risky pregnancy (parity, pregnancy spacing, age during pregnancy), and the dependent variable is the failure of exclusive breastfeeding. Data analysis using multivariate logistic regression. The results found that only 26.2% of exclusive breastfeeding practices. Risky pregnancy is associated with the failure of exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers with too much parity risked 1,195 times, mothers with primiparous parity risked 1,716 times, too close birth spacing risked 1,210 times, and too young mothers were 1,267 times more likely not to exclusively breastfeed than mothers who had normal pregnancies after controlling for the area of residence. It is necessary to improve health promotion programs to the public regarding the importance of offering exclusive breastfeeding to infants and improving fertility characteristics.

EDUCATIONAL MEDIA TO INCREASE MOTHER’S KNOWLEDGE OF EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Currently, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia has not reached the target. One of the reasons is the lack of information (transfer of knowledge) by health workers about exclusive breastfeeding for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and their families. One of the reasons is the lack of use of the media by officers when providing counseling. Each officer should be able to choose the right method so that all the information provided can be controlled by the mother and her family. This research will examine the success of counseling through the right media to help increase the knowledge of mothers about exclusive breastfeeding. This study uses a literature study method with a narrative review approach. The databases used are Google Scholar and PubMed with the keywords media education, health education, counseling, knowledge, pregnant mother, breastfeeding mother, exclusive breastfeeding, six months breastfeeding. The inclusion criteria consisted of original research, full text articles, 2015-2020 article published years, samples of breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women, educational articles or counseling or health education about exclusive breastfeeding, and 11 articles that met the inclusion. Literature studies show that the effective use of printed media can increase knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding, namely leaflets, posters, flipcharts and booklets. While electronic media that can be used include audiovisual media, power point shows, animation, films and websites. Thus, the most effective media used is a combination of print media and electronic media. The distribution of printed media in the form of booklets after counseling using electronic media (audiovisual) is intended so that respondents can remember things that have been discussed during the counseling. For health workers, it is advisable to first consider the media that will be used in providing education or counseling or health promotion regarding exclusive breastfeeding.
