 Background: The World Health Organization or the World Health Organization declares that breast milk is the right food and is suitable for the growth and development of infants throughout the world. However, giving baby complementary foods before reaching the age of 6 months and over will have a very detrimental effect on the baby. Exclusive breastfeeding for infants (< 6 months) contributes greatly to the reduction in infant mortality. On the other hand, giving additional food too early will increase the risk of developing both infectious and non-infectious diseases for the baby. Purpose: This study aims to determine how closely the mother's knowledge and attitudes are with the provision of early MP-ASI in the Kedai Sianam Health Center Work Area, Batu Bara Regency. Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach with the type of observational research with a cross-sectional design where the independent and dependent variables are measured at the same time. The population used is all mothers who have a baby of 6 months. The number of samples based on the sample formula is 32 people. In this study, sampling was done by simple random sampling or by simple random sampling where all members of the population had the opportunity to be selected as samples. Results: The relationship between the mother's level of knowledge about complementary feeding and the provision of complementary feeding in early months in the Kedai Sianam 33 Health Center Work Area, Batu Bara Regency in 2022 with a number of 32 respondents, there is a significant relationship with a p value of 0.001 where the majority of respondents who have poor knowledge give Complementary foods for babies before 6 months.

PENERAPAN PERAN NENEK TERHADAP PEMBERIAN MAKANAN PENDAMPING ASI

Proper feeding practices are of fundamental importance to the survival, growth, development, health and nutrition of infants and children. Complementary food for breast milk (MP ASI) is additional food given to infants after the age of 6 months to the age of 24 months to meet nutritional needs other than breast milk. Breast milk should still be given to babies, at least until the age of 24 months. The role of supplementary food is not as a substitute for breast milk but to complement or accompany breast milk. Support factors for other family members, including grandmothers who give advice according to the culture and habits of the local community, such as giving water, banana honey to babies or other foods that are not suitable for the child's age, are still difficult to eliminate, and can also influence the practice of early complementary feeding so that it affects the growth and development of children. .

The results showed that the knowledge of breastfeeding mothers was still lacking regarding understanding in exclusive breastfeeding, the attitude of breastfeeding mothers was still not sure about giving only breast milk. culture is very closely related to exclusive breastfeeding, where mothers hold on to ancestral cultures that are passed down from generation to generation such as the peucicap culture and the provision of complementary feeding is given to infants before the age of 6 months, which should only be given breast milk. The conclusion is that exclusive breastfeeding in the working area of the Meutulang Public Health Center is still low, as evidenced by the results of research that has been carried out where knowledge and culture have a strong influence which is then followed by the attitude and work of the mother. Suggestions are expected for health centers and related agencies to more often conduct counseling, outreach and education to the community, especially mothers about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding aged 0-6 months

Complementary Feeding and Growth Among Low Birthweight Infants in the The Second Half of Infancy: Results From a Multi-Site Observational Cohort

ObjectivesThis study was designed to address the high prevalence of infant undernutrition among low birthweight (LBW, < 2.5kg) infants in the second half of infancy, and the dearth of evidence on the optimal transition and provision of complementary feeding and growth of LBW infants. The objectives were to understand the complementary feeding profile and growth outcomes in the second half of infancy; and to assess the relationship between poor nutritional status at the time of transition to complementary feeding and poor growth outcomes at one year.MethodsThe results presented in this abstract are part of the larger Low Birthweight Infant Feeding Exploration (LIFE) study conducted in India, Malawi and Tanzania. This was a formative, multi-site, observational cohort study that collected data on over 1100 moderately LBW infants throughout infancy. After the six month visit, mother-infant pairs were visited at nine and 12 months.ResultsA total of 1114 infants and their mothers were enrolled in the observational study. More than 95% of infants were fed breast milk at six, nine and 12 months of age. At nine and 12 months respectively, 48% and 31% of infants were not achieving a minimum acceptable diet, highlighting gaps in dietary diversity. A lack of dietary diversity was exacerbated among infants born to younger, less educated and/or multiparous mothers. Proteins were more limited than any other food group; only 66% and 70% of infants were fed animal source foods at nine and 12 months, respectively. Prevalence of stunting (>30%) increased from six to 12 months while underweight (26%) and wasting (10%) remained consistent; regional differences were observed. Importantly, poor growth outcomes at six months were predictive of those at 12 months even when adjusted for key covariates (stunting RR = 2.84, p < 0.001; underweight RR = 6.41, p < 0.001; wasting RR = 4.89, p < 0.001).ConclusionsGiven the gaps in the optimal quality of complementary feeding and predictive relationship between six and 12 month growth outcomes, efforts should be made to enhance the promotion of feeding counseling before and during the transition to complementary feeding and to address key barriers to the provision of a diverse diet. In addition, growth monitoring and proactive intervention at six months or earlier could serve to prevent poor outcomes at one year of life.Funding SourcesBill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
