Breastfeeding (ASI) and complementary feeding (MP-ASI) are determinants of a baby's growth and development starting from the period 0 days or the day after birth until the age of 2 years. Providing nutritional intake that is less than required can cause long-term growth and development in children, which is permanent and difficult to repair. This study aims to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and MP-ASI with the growth and development of babies aged 6–12 months in the Harapan Baru Community Health Center Working Area, Samarinda City. Type of quantitative research with a cross sectional approach. The location of this research was carried out at the Posyandu in the Working Area of the Harapan Baru Community Health Center, Samarinda City. The sample in this study was mothers of babies 6-12 months with 84 respondents. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and interviews. The data analysis technique uses the Spearman correlation non-parametric statistical test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between giving exclusive breastfeeding and the growth of babies aged 6-12 months (p=0.00), there was a relationship between giving breast milk and the development of babies aged 6-12 months (p=0.021), there was a relationship between giving MP-ASI and growth babies 6-12 months (p=0.022), and there is a relationship between giving MP-ASI and the development of babies 6-12 months (p=0.042). Increasing the provision of appropriate breast milk and MP-ASI is very important to achieve optimal growth and development of babies.  

The condition of stunting in rural areas reflects the challenges faced by many rural areas in Indonesia. Various complex factors such as inadequate nutrition, limited access to health services, poor sanitation, and low levels of public awareness about the importance of nutrition during growth. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. The research subjects were Posyandu cadres in rural areas and the community (mothers of toddlers). This research uses narratives or words to discuss problems, the aim is to describe and explain the situation or phenomenon regarding the implementation of the posyandu program in reducing stunting rates in rural areas. This research uses primary data obtained from direct sources surveyed and secondary data obtained from books, records and related documents from Village Posyandu, Puskesmas and other appropriate sources. Data collection techniques include: (a) Observation, which uses a type of passive observation carried out by researchers when visiting research locations to observe and collect data, (b) Interview, which is a method used by asking questions to informants who are considered interested. understand the focus of the research. The stunting prevention program includes (1) providing additional nutrition (PMT); (2) giving vitamin A in addition to breast milk; (3) giving blood supplement tablets (TTD) to pregnant women; (4) providing complete basic vaccinations; (5) monitor the baby's development; (6) environmental cleanliness.

Nutrition is an indicator of the successful growth and development of babies and toddlers. Thus, nutritional needs must be met to achieve this success. Fulfillment of nutrition begins when the baby is in the womb, then exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life and continued with complementary breastfeeding (MP-ASI).  The aim of providing MP-ASI is to maintain the nutritional status of infants and toddlers. By providing proper MP-ASI, the growth and development of babies and toddlers will be optimal. Mothers have an important role in preparing and serving the right MP-ASI for their babies. In particular, the mother's knowledge has a big influence on the mindset and caring attitude towards the success of providing appropriate MP-ASI. (Cindy, 2023) The aim of this community service activity is to increase mothers' knowledge about providing complementary breast milk (MP-ASI) in Alue Sentang Village, Kec. Birem Bayeun District. East Aceh. The method used in this activity is the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which is an approach to learning in solving problems and meeting the practical needs of society, as well as the production of knowledge. The results obtained from this activity are an increase in mothers' knowledge about giving complementary foods to breast milk. so that it is hoped that the knowledge gained can be realized in everyday life.

Background: Infants aged 2 months have begun to learn body movements in the form of gross motor skills. Starting with kicking movements, straightening the hands of sideways movements and then on the stomach until at the age of 1 year the baby can walk independently. Gross motor can develop faster and better when there is stimulus from the surrounding environment. Baby gym can provide a stimulus for gross motor development. Baby gym exercises done with the person closest to the baby will be better for the baby's emotional security. Objective: Providing counseling and practice in mother and baby classes at the kendalsari health center makes mothers who have babies under 1 year old and who will have a baby can apply it at home to train their children's gross motor skills. Methods: the method used in this counseling is to provide leaflets and then education and practice. Giving some questions on the pretest and postest to find out the picture of knowledge in mothers. Results: from this activity an increased understanding of baby gym procedures and their benefits was obtained. 

An important indicator of health status is the nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers, and currently the nutritional needs of mothers after giving birth are higher than during pregnancy. The thing that needs to be considered during the golden period for toddlers for the development and growth process of toddlers is the provision of balanced nutrition for breastfeeding mothers. Breastfeeding is the most important source of nutrition for the healthy growth and development of babies, and has biological and psychological impacts on the health of mothers and children. Breast milk is the perfect food or nutrition for babies. In the first six months of life, breast milk is the most complete source of nutrition to support the baby's growth and development. This Community Service Activity was carried out at Dk. Congkar 1/1 Kaliwadas Village, Bumiayu District. The aim of this Health Education Activity is to increase mothers' knowledge about the importance of nutrition for breastfeeding mothers. This Community Service activity is carried out using lecture, discussion and question and answer methods using posters and modules. It is hoped that in the future health workers can strive for innovative methods to increase maternal knowledge.

Babies who experience delays in gross motor development will reduce the baby's creativity in adapting and make it difficult for the baby to recognize the surrounding environment. Growth and development is a continuous process that occurs since conception and continues until adulthood. One of the early steps to accompany child growth and development is carried out through stimulation, namely stimulation to improve infant motor skills with tummy time exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Tummy time exercise on gross motor skills in infants aged 3-6 months. This study used the methoda quasi-experimental with control group design.Data analysis using the Mann Whitney test.Gross motor development is assessed usingDenver Developmental Screening Test (DDST). The results of this study showThe average gross motor development in the intervention group after tummy time exercise for 3 weeks showed faster gross motor development compared to babies in the control group who were not given intervention. While the p value obtained was 0.000. The conclusion of this study is that tummy time exercise has a strong influence on infant motor development. So it can be recommended to give tummy time exercise to babies.

Birth problems are one of the problems that have not been resolved in various regions, where an average mother gives birth to three to four children. The increase in population due to births will also affect various aspects of development, and pose a big risk to ensuring community welfare. For example, opportunities to obtain educational facilities, job opportunities, health insurance, housing and can increase opportunities for increasing poverty and crime. To find out which factors influence the birth of a baby, an association rule is needed to find out which factors influence the birth of a baby which can be seen from several criteria such as a woman who has a low level of education or a bachelor's degree, a woman who marries at an old age. , or women who marry underage, give birth naturally or surgically. Association rules are a data mining technique for determining the relationship between items in a set of data that has been determined. By determining min support 0.01, confidence 0.1 and 7 itemsets, the results obtained are 25 data items with varying min support and confidence with a maximum support x confidence result of 100%. By using the a priori method, 14 of the best rules were produced by producing the most up-to-date information.

Background : Breast milk is a substance produced by the body naturally by the breast glands. Breast milk is an emulsion of fat in a solution of protein, lactose, and organic salts, white blood cells secreted by the breast glands so that breast milk is the perfect food for growth and development and immunity of the baby. Breast milk production that is small or not smooth can interfere with exclusive breastfeeding, so efforts are needed to increase breast milk production by treating non-pharmacological techniques, one of which is breast care. Breast care is an action in maintaining the health and cleanliness of the mother's breasts, flexing and strengthening the nipples to stimulate the body to secrete lactogen and prolactin hormones, improve blood circulation, prevent obstruction of milk release so that breast milk production increases. Objective: to determine the results of the implementation of breast care techniques on breast milk production of postpartum women in the Cempaka Room of RSUD dr. Soehadi Prijonegoro Sragen. Method: This research is a case study research conducted on 2 postpartum mother respondents by doing breast care for 2 days with a frequency of 2 times a day for 30 minutes. Results: From the results of observations on both respondents there was a development of breast milk production from before and after breast care from the first and second days experienced a significant increase. Conclusion: There is an increase in breast milk production and before and after breast care from not smooth to smooth.    

Indonesia's maternal mortality rate (MMR), at 189 per 100,000 live births, is higher than countries in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand and Vietnam. Indonesia's newborn mortality rate is the third highest in Southeast Asia at 9.3 per 1,000 live births. In 2022 to 2023, there was an increase in the number of maternal deaths from 4,005 to 4,129, and the number of newborn deaths from 20,882 to 29,945 (Ministry of Health, 2023). Anaemia in pregnant women can increase the risk of premature birth, maternal and child mortality, and infectious diseases. Iron deficiency anaemia in mothers can affect fetal/baby growth and development during pregnancy and afterwards. This study is a type of quantitative research using a case control design. The research that has been done shows that most respondents experienced mild anaemia 20 people (66.7%), moderate anaemia 7 people (23.3%) and who did not experience anaemia only 3 people (10%). Most of the respondents, 83.3%, did not make routine ANC visits and 83.3% also had a poor diet. There is a significant relationship between ANC visits (p=0.000), diet (p=0.002) with the incidence of anaemia in pregnant women at the Puskesmas in 2019.    

The infancy period is a crucial phase for a child's growth and development, where attention to sleep and stimulation is paramount. Sleep disturbances, such as sleeping less than nine hours per night, frequent awakenings, and difficulty returning to sleep, can affect a baby's emotions and development. This study aims to explore the impact of infant massage on the quality of sleep in infants. The method used was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design, conducted at the Sei Langkai Public Health Center in Batam City from July to August 2023. The sample consisted of 15 infants selected through purposive sampling. The independent variable was infant massage, and the dependent variable was the quality of infant sleep. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Wilcoxon test to assess differences before and after the intervention. The results showed a p-value of 0.001, which is less than 0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0). This indicates that infant massage has a significant effect on the quality of infant sleep. In conclusion, infant massage is effective in improving the quality of infant sleep and can be recommended as an intervention to address sleep disturbances in infants in the Sei Langkai Public Health Center area.

Background: The prevalence of sleep problems in infants in Indonesia reaches 44.2%, often waking up at night. In Central Java in 2018, 44% of infants experienced similar sleep disorders. Fulfilling sleep needs is important for their development. Infant massage is an effective non-pharmacological therapy to improve sleep quality. Objective: Knowing the changes in sleep quality in two respondents before and after the application of baby massage. Objective: Knowing the changes in sleep quality in two respondents before and after the application of baby massage. Methods: This research used descriptive method with case study approach. Measurements were made on 2 respondents to determine the quality of sleep using BISQ and the application was carried out with baby massage 3 times a week for 2 weeks. Results: There was an improvement in sleep quality in By. S from BISQ score 7 to score 15 and By. A also experienced an increase in sleep quality from BISQ score 6 to 14. Conclusion: Infant massage can be applied to improve the sleep quality of infants aged 0-6 months.  

Inflammation caused by diapers is one of the most common skin diseases in infants and children worldwide. Diaper rash disrupts the baby's (perineal) skin health and can also interfere with the baby's growth and development. This can occur because the baby becomes fussy, especially during urination or bowel movements, and has difficulty sleeping. To obtain a literature review on maternal knowledge regarding perineal care and the occurrence of diaper dermatitis in infants. Articles published on diaper dermatitis were searched in databases and search engines, including Irandoc, SID, Ovid, PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, SINTA, Garuda, and IranMedex, from 2019 to 2023, in both Indonesian full-text articles. Ten journals meet the research criteria based on 30 published and identified journals from 2019-2023. The researchers found that the mother's knowledge level is one-factor affecting perineal care and the occurrence of diaper dermatitis in infants. Based on the reviewed journals, it can be concluded that the level of knowledge is crucial in implementing proper perineal care as it is one of the factors that can influence the occurrence of diaper dermatitis in infants, classified by age, education, occupation, or experience. Therefore, health education is vital in improving maternal knowledge in this regard.  

Data shows that motor development disorders are experienced by 5-10% of children in the world. Disrupted motor development can be an indirect cause of increased morbidity, poverty and in the long term can hamper the country's development. One effort to prevent gross motor delays in children is by stimulating them from infancy, for example by doing baby gym exercises. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of a baby gym on gross motor development in babies aged 3-4 months. The research design uses a quasi-experimental with control group design. The intervention group is the group that carries out the baby gym. Meanwhile, the control group did not do the baby gym. Data analysis used the Mann Whitney test. The population in this study were all babies aged 3-4 months at PMB Andina Palembang. The sampling technique used a total sampling of 24 respondents who were divided into 12 intervention group respondents and 12 control group respondents. The research results showed that the average gross motor development in the intervention group after baby gym training for 2 weeks showed faster gross motor development compared to babies in the control group who were not given intervention. Meanwhile, the p value obtained was 0.001, meaning that there was a difference in gross motor development in babies who were stimulated with baby gym exercises and babies in the control group who were not given any intervention. It is recommended for health workers to intensify education about stimulating gross motor development in babies, one of which is by doing a baby gym.

Pregnant will experience an increase in blood volume and this causes iron requirements to increase. Iron needs can be met by food consumed daily with the addition of iron supplements and if iron needs are not met it can cause anemia. Anemia in pregnant can increase the risk of premature birth, maternal and child death, and infectious diseases. Anemia can affect the growth and development of the fetus or baby during pregnancy or after. The government's efforts to prevent anemia include improving the quality of health services, financing health insurance, providing 90 blood supplement tablets during pregnancy, and health education about nutrition and preventing anemia. Increasing knowledge is urgently needed to strengthen awareness in increasing knowledge and behavior in preventing anemia in pregnant. One of the efforts made is health education activities regarding the prevention and early detection of anemia in pregnant. The result of this community service activity is that there is an increase in knowledge about anemia in pregnant before and after being given health education

Stunting problems often occur in children who lack essential nutrients, especially protein, iron and other nutrients needed for optimal growth. Stunting is not only a physical problem that can be seen from short height, but also has serious long-term impacts on children's development. Exclusive breast milk is a primary need for babies, so it will have an impact on the baby's growth and development if it is not provided adequately. Breast milk that is not given exclusively in the first 6 months of a baby's life will have an impact on the maturation process of the immune system, causing the baby to be susceptible to infections (Wasiah, 2019). Bekasi Regency is an industrial area with more than 3.5 million residents and 44.6% of them are women. A total of 523 461 of them are working women who are in the productive age range of 15-49 years. In this age range, many working women are mothers who have to leave their babies and be cared for by someone else and cannot provide exclusive breast milk. The failure to provide exclusive breastfeeding is the driving force behind many cases of stunting in Indonesia. This research is a quantitative analytical research with a cross sectional approach with the respondents being working mothers who have children under five. P value is 0.021 and OR 8,000, so there is a significant relationship between breastfeeding behavior and the incidence of stunting in the Kedungwaringin Community Health Center Working Area. Working mothers with non-exclusive breastfeeding behavior increase the risk of stunting by 8,000 times compared to mothers who breastfeed exclusively.
