Down syndrome (DS) is a physical disorder caused by an excess of the third chromosome in the 21st pair of chromosomes which causes the number of chromosomes to become 47. One of the symptoms of Down syndrome is muscle weakness which can affect the baby's reflexes. To assess the effect of baby massage intervention on the reflex development of babies with Down syndrome in the NICU. The method used in this research is a case study with baby massage intervention for Down syndrome patients in the NICU. The intervention was carried out for 3 days. Baby massage intervention is carried out once a day with a duration of 10 -15 minutes. The results of this case study show that after baby massage there were changes in the palmar grasp reflex and Babinski reflex. Baby massage can improve babies’ reflexes particularly palmar and Babinski reflexes on babies with Down syndrome in the NICU.

Background: BBLR refers to a disruption in the respiratory system of a baby caused by unstable physiological functions, including temperature, pulse, and oxygen saturation. One strategy for managing the condition is the implementation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a non-invasive technique. Developmental care further reinforces the efficacy of CPAP. One specific effort in providing developmental care is to modify the position of newborns to a comfortable state via nesting. Objective: This scientific paper seeks to examine the effects of nesting therapy and pronation posture on the hemodynamic status of low weight newborns in the BBLR population. CPAP is installed in the Perinatology Room of RSUD Kabupaten Tangerang. Method: Provision of Nursing Care Intervention and innovation in the application of nesting and pronation position against hemodynamics. Results: Based on case studies in managed patients, there were changes in hemodynamic status such as pulse, breathing and temperature in patients before and after treatment.

Stunting is a public health problem that is often found, especially in developing countries. The high incidence of stunting in children will affect children's growth, development and intelligence in the future. Overcoming stunting incidents can be done through prevention and early detection. Stunting prevention can be implemented before the baby is born, namely by providing food with adequate nutrition to pregnant women. Early detection is important so that the problem of stunting can be resolved immediately. The aim of this community service is to increase the role of posyandu cadres in preventing stunting by increasing cadres' knowledge about stunting, prevention and the importance of early detection. After this program is carried out, it is hoped that posyandu cadres can play an active role in monitoring pregnant women and toddlers in their environment as an effort to prevent and early detect stunting incidents.

The critical period for the growth and development of infants can be referred to as a critical period. It is said that this critical period in infancy will be very detrimental to the environment around it and it is said that the future due to infancy is very short and cannot be repeated. Newborns are more susceptible to various diseases. Diseases in infants can be identified based on the symptoms that arise. This is caused by several factors including the lack of information about diseases in infants after birth that is known to the general public. Therefore, research is needed on diseases and symptoms that affect babies after birth. One alternative in order to find out the disease in the baby after birth can use an expert system. In building the system, the author uses the Backward Chaining method, uses the Waterfall system development method (SDLC) and the Object Oriented Approach (OOA). The result of this research is a web-based application that can later be accessed or used to make it easier for the public, especially parents of babies, to diagnose symptoms or diseases in babies after birth as early as possible.

Apgar is an examination of newborns with five aspects of assessment, namely skin color, heart rate, reflex response, active muscle tone and breathing. Early detection with assessment is very important for health and the growth and development process. A low Apgar score can indicate immunological abnormalities in the neonate such as respiratory, heart and neurological problems as well as a risk of neonatal sepsis. There is still little information on the Apgar assessment given to pregnant women. The partner of this service activity is the Pregnant Women's Community at Gajahan Surakarta Health Center. The aim of this outreach activity is to provide a forum for information to pregnant women at the Gajahan Surakarta Community Health Center about the Apgar assessment and determine the level of understanding of this education. A baby is said to be healthy if it has an Apgar score of more than seven. The educational method provided is through the lecture method, distributing leaflets about the Apgar score. To measure the level of understanding and knowledge, a pre-test was carried out before delivering the material and a post-test after being given education. Based on the results of the pre-test and post-test comparison of 27 respondents, the average score increased from 77.7 to 91. Participants were enthusiastic in taking part in this activity and there was an increase in pregnant women's understanding of the Apgar score

Prematurity is the birth or delivery of a baby that occurs between 20 weeks gestation to less than 37 weeks. About 25-50% of newborns suffer from jaundice in the first week. Hyperbilirubinemia in infants less months has a higher incidence rate. These developmental and clinical phenomena contribute to a greater degree and duration of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in premature infants. Objective: to analyze the relationship of prematurity with hyperbilirubinemia in neonates at Perinatology Dr. Hafiz Cianjur Hospital. Method: The design used is quantitative observational with a cross-sectional approach. Samples were taken as many as 60 neonates using total sampling techniques. The research data was taken using medical record sheets in October – December 2023.  Results: After analyzing the data was tabulated using a chi square test with a meaning level of 0.05. The results showed Prematurity (51.7%) as many as 31 neonates gestation period 31-36 weeks and Hyperbilirubinemia (86.7%) as many as 52 neonates in the severe category. The results of statistical testing obtained a significancy value of 0.003. Based on the results of p value < 0.05. Conclusion: it can be concluded that there is a relationship between prematurity and hyperbilirubinemia in neonates in Hospital Perinatology.

Abstract and Keywords must be written in English, in italic style, and contain a brief description of the research background, objectives, methods, findings, and implications. The abstract is written in one paragraph with a single space (maximum 200 words), without any reference or formula. The Newborn Period (BBL) is a stage that can be called the golden period as well as a critical phase because during this period there is adaptation to the BBL as well as very rapid growth and development. Therefore, it is important to provide a balanced nutritional menu according to BBL's needs to support adequate baby growth and development. In achieving this, breast milk is the main recommendation given immediately after the baby is born until 6 months. Entering the age of 6 months, the baby's nutritional intake needs will increase, so apart from breast milk, MP-ASI becomes an additional menu for babies to support optimal growth and development. However, MP-ASI must be given according to the baby's age and needs. The application for preparing a balanced nutritional menu for babies is a digital technology that is useful for making it easier for mothers to prepare an appropriate and balanced menu for their little ones. By utilizing the digital application "Baby Meal Planner", it is hoped that baby mothers can independently support government policies in achieving optimal growth and development for the nation's future generations.

Cases of death in infants can be caused by several factors, one of which is Low Birth Weight (LBW). Babies born with low birth weight have a higher risk of experiencing delays in growth and development during childhood, and can even cause death compared to babies born with normal weight. Factors that affect LBW include: baby's length, mother's weight gain, mother's age, LILA, parity, birth spacing, nutritional anemia, and ANC. The purpose of this research is to find out the factors associated with LBW at the Bawangan Ploso Health Center, Jombang Regency, East Java Province in 2020. This research is a quantitative study with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all births recorded in the infant cohort data and data on pregnant and giving birth in the Bawangan Ploso Health Center, Jombang Regency for the period January 2020 to December 2020. The number of babies born in that period was 604 babies. Sampling used purposive sampling with a total sample of 100 respondents determined by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the baby's length was pertinent to LBW (p = 0,000 < 0,05), maternal weight gain was pertinent to LBW (p = 0,000 < 0,05), maternal age was pertinent to LBW (p = 0,002), LILA was pertinent to LBW (p = 0,000 < 0,05), parity was not pertinent to LBW (p = 0,096 > 0,05), birth spacing was pertinent to LBW (p = 0,000 < 0,05), nutritional anemia was pertinent to LBW (p = 0,000 < 0,05), and ANC was not pertinent to LBW (p = 0,243 > 0,05). Based on the multivariate test, the weight gain of pregnant women is the dominant factor that influences the incidence of LBW.

Children require special attention as the nation's next generation. The World Health Organization stated that the maternal mortality rate worldwide in 2019 was around 295,000 women who died during and after pregnancy and childbirth. The majority (94%) of maternal deaths occur in low and middle income countries (WHO, 2020). At the 2020 National Working Meeting, the maternal mortality rate in Indonesia in 2019 was still 305 per 100,000 live births (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2020), which is still high when compared to Indonesia's target in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2030, namely 70 per 100,000 live births. (Pusdatin, 2019). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) era began in 2019 with a program to reduce pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality rates, the achievements of which are still very high in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that every pregnant woman and newborn needs quality care from pregnancy to the postpartum period. Prenatal care in Indonesia plays an important role in providing quality care, because antenatal care includes elements of health promotion, screening, diagnosis and disease prevention. Indonesia is currently one of the 13 countries with the highest proportion of maternal mortality rates in the world. The high maternal mortality rate is caused by complications during pregnancy. According to the World Health Organization (2019), around 287,000 mothers died due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth, such as bleeding 28%, preeclampsia/eclampsia 2%, infection 11%, and indirect causes (2019), obstetric trauma) 5%. Efforts made to minimize and prevent complications during childbirth are to carry out routine pregnancy checks. Antenatal Care (ANC) is a planned program in the form of observation, providing education and treatment for pregnant women to achieve a safe and satisfactory pregnancy and birth. Antenatal pregnancy checks are the frequency of pregnancy checks at existing health facilities, namely doctors, midwives, health centers, hospitals and other private health facilities. Antenatal examinations should be carried out at least four times during pregnancy, namely once in the first trimester, once in the second trimester and twice in the third trimester (Ministry of Health, 2017). Antenatal examination is a follow-up for pregnant women to prepare physically and mentally and save the mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2018). The importance of pregnancy checks through prenatal examinations, because in general pregnancies proceed normally, but with increasing gestational age it tends to cause dangerous complications (Rukiyah, 2013). Pregnancy checks are important to ensure that the natural process of pregnancy can run normally and continue so that pregnant women have a healthy and safe pregnancy. It is estimated that around 15% to 20% of all pregnant women will experience high risk conditions and obstetric complications that threaten the lives of both mother and fetus if not treated properly. Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2021). OBJECTIVE To analyze the factors related to Antenatal Care Visits at the Corah Pratama Clinic, Munte District, Karo Regency in 2023. METHOD chi square test p value < 0.05 means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, the statistical test results show a significant relationship. RESULTS There is a relationship between age, knowledge and antenatal care visits at the Corah Pratama Clinic, Munte District, Karo Regency in 2023 and there is no relationship between parity and support from health workers and antenatal care visits at the Corah Pratama Clinic, Munte District, Karo Regency in 2023.

Nutritional intake plays an important role in optimizing baby's growth and development. The amount of nutritional intake consumed is also influenced by the process of eating activities. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the Baby Led Weaning Method on baby weight in the Patingalloang Community Health Center Working Area. Quantitative research method with experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The research population was toddlers experiencing stunting who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria using purposive sampling techniques. Research results: The intervention group with a sample size of 20 children experienced an average weight gain of 0.85 kg. The control group also experienced an average increase of 0.65 kg with a test value of p value = 0.000, where it was concluded that there was an effect of giving MP-ASI using the Baby Led Weaning Method on the weight of babies aged 9-12 months in the working area of the Patingalloang Community Health Center.    

Massage for babies and toddlers can be interpreted as a comfortable touch of communication between mother and baby/toddler. Touch is a natural touch for babies and toddlers which can take the form of stroking, massaging or massaging. Baby massage is beneficial for the growth, development and healthy emotional condition of children. The aim of this community service is to increase the knowledge and ability to practice baby massage among mothers who have babies/toddlers to support children's growth and development. This activity is carried out by providing outreach in the form of leaflets and baby massage demonstrations about the benefits and techniques of baby massage. Knowledge measurement is carried out by giving a pretest before counseling and demonstration and a posttest after counseling and demonstration. This counseling was carried out in one of the residents' homes in Semen Village, Kediri Regency, which was attended by 14 mothers who had babies/toddlers. The results of the counseling were obtained before the counseling was given, there were 2 mothers (14.3%) with good knowledge and after the activity there was an increase to 10 mothers (71.4%) with good knowledge. It is hoped that further counseling will focus on providing nutrition for the growth and development of babies/toddlers.

Impaired growth and development can occur if nutrition in infancy and children is not fulfilled and is not treated early. Fulfillment of nutritional needs in infants, especially in infants aged 6-12 months where at this time babies are introduced to food, or termed MP-ASI, you should pay attention to several things such as the nutritional content of the ingredients used, administration according to nutritional needs, can be well received by the baby's digestion, preferably produced from local ingredients and is dense in nutrition. Knowledge about nutritional intake patterns is needed by every mother, so that the baby's nutritional needs can be optimal. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge about nutritional intake patterns and weight gain for babies aged 6-12 months at the Keritang Hulu Health Center, Kemuning District. The results of the study showed that 29 mothers (72.5%) had good nutritional patterns and 29 mothers (100%) had weight gain. However, there were 11 mothers who had poor nutritional patterns (27.5%) and all of these mothers' babies did not experience weight gain (100%). the results of the statistical chi-square test that has been carried out show a Pvalue (> 0.05), namely 0.000. The research hypothesis states that there is a relationship between maternal knowledge about nutritional intake patterns and weight gain for infants aged 6-12 months at the Keritang Hulu Health Center, Kemuning District, in 2023. Conclusion Sufficient knowledge about nutritional patterns will have an impact on infant weight gain. It is hoped that all mothers who have babies will be able to find more information about how good nutritional patterns are for babies aged 6-12 months so that they have an impact on optimal baby growth and development according to the baby's age.

Abstract. The baby's social emotional development must be a parent's main goal, because if social emotional development does not go well it will affect and hinder other developments such as psychomotor, emotional and other baby development. This research uses a method called critical review, which involves careful examination and evaluation of various sources of information, such as scientific journals, articles, and other media. The main goal of this approach is to improve readers' comprehension and interpretation skills in the field of early childhood development. Infancy is a time of rapid growth and change, infancy is a time of reduced dependency. The developmental tasks of infancy throughout the life span are, learning to eat solid food, learning to walk, learning to talk, learning to control the elimination of body waste, learning sexual differences and procedures, preparing to read, and learning to distinguish right from wrong, and starting to develop conscience. The development of patterns in the changes experienced by individuals since they were still in the womb over a certain life span, namely, weight, height, physical proportions, bones, muscles and fat, body shape, teeth, nervous system, and development of the sense organs. The psychological function of infancy is the period of formation of fundamental psychological patterns for eating, sleeping, and toileting, although the formation of these habits may not be complete by the end of infancy.

The research aims to analyze the understanding of emotional development in babies, how cognitive development in babies is, what the risks or dangers are to babies, and what are the implications of infancy development in counseling services. The research method used in this research is library research. It is a search and research of literature by reading and reviewing various journals. Data collection techniques use library research in the form of books, journals and other studies. The data analysis technique uses descriptive analysis. The results of the research show that babies' emotions are very susceptible to habituation, there are several differences in this pattern and also in the stimuli that cause it. development of understanding. Infant perception through sensory explanations. Like babies looking, feeling, smelling, and painting all objects within their reach. Maturation during infancy usually occurs through direct experience with the environment and interaction with objects and people around them. Dangers during infancy can be physical dangers and psychological dangers. Physical dangers such as excessive crying, it could also be a baby suffering from brain damage or other birth defects. And psychological dangers such as emotional dangers, this usually occurs because a lack of love from parents towards the baby can give rise to unstable emotions in the baby. The implication of development during infancy in counseling services is to ensure the baby's development and provide services according to the baby's condition.
