Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in the growth and development of infants. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, followed by complementary foods (MPASI). However, many mothers do not provide exclusive breastfeeding, which can affect the growth and development of infants in old age. This study aims to analyze the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the growth and development of infants aged 7-12 months.This study uses a quantitative research type using Retrospective research. The design of this study was carried out with a cross-sectional approach, the sample in the study was 62 people using the Random Sampling System. The data collected in the study were primary data, namely data obtained directly from respondents. The data analysis used was Chi Square. Exclusive breastfeeding in infants aged 7-12 months is mostly given exclusive breastfeeding (56.6%), growth in infants aged 7-12 months is mostly fat (37.1%), development in infants aged 7-12 months is mostly normal (54.8%), there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and growth in infants aged 7-12 months with a p-value of 0.000, there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and development in infants aged 7-12 months with a p-value of 0.000. So Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted which means there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and development in infants aged 7-12 months. For further researchers, it is expected to be able to conduct further research by developing other variables in order to get better results.

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.  

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.

It can be concluded that this tradition not only contains spiritual and moral values, but also functions as social learning that strengthens the cultural identity and togetherness of the ultramodern Lampung community.

The primary causes of mortality among infants are diarrhea and pneumonia. But, more than 50% of the cases were caused by malnutrition. Exclusive breastfeeding (6 months to 2 years) and providing complementary nutritious food have proven to be effective interventions in reducing the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). This study aims to analyze maternal barriers to exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months in Montasik Public Health Center, Aceh Besar. This study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 147 women. 60 respondents were chosen as the sample using a proportional random sampling technique. It was conducted on May 2nd–18th, 2024. The analysis uses univariate and bivariate Chi-square tests. The results showed that of 60 respondents, most of them provided non-exclusive breastfeeding for 34 respondents (56,7%), early adulthood for 32 respondents (53,3%), middle-class education level for 24 respondents (40%), self-employed for 33 respondents (55%), had sufficient knowledge of breastfeeding as 24 respondents (40%), and did not have a supportive workplace in giving exclusive breastfeeding as 34 respondents (56,7%). In conclusion, there is a correlation between age, education level, work status, knowledge, and environment towards exclusive breastfeeding. It is expected that the community health center will conduct socialization regarding exclusive breastfeeding by holding antenatal classes for a better understanding of exclusive breastfeeding.

Based on the record owned by the cadre, there are currently 97 babies and toddlers. However, the attendance rate of mothers and toddlers at the Mawar Indah Posyandu  (integrated health service post) averages only 35% each month. This low attendance rate attracted researchers to initiate a community counseling program with goals to increase awareness and participation among mothers of infants and toddlers in the area.  The approach to community empowerment adopted in this study is centered on a public health education campaign, highlighting the critical role of Posyandu in supporting the growth and development of infants and toddlers. The initiative included key steps starting with presenting the benefits of Posyandu for children's growth and developments, engaging participants in a discussion session, and providing door prizes as incentives. The result of the outreach program is attended by 28 mothers along with their children. However, at this level of attendance achieved an average at 28.8%, falling short of the defined success indicators and lower than the previous rate. This outcome was influenced by several factors as outlined in H.L. Bloom’s theory, including environmental factors, individual behavior, healthcare services, and genetic predispositions. The findings indicate that despite efforts to increase awareness and participation, the involvement of mothers with infants and toddlers in the area remains insufficient. Contributing factors include environmental, behavioral, and healthcare service factors. To achieve more optimal results, improvements in these aspects are essential to increase maternal participation in Posyandu programs.

By using the a priori method, 14 of the best rules were produced by producing the most up-to-date information.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan Evaluasi Pemanfaatan Jampersal di Kota Prabumulih Tahun 2020. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama tiga bulan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan cara penyajian data, reduksi data, dan pengumpulan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fokus utama program ini adalah memberikan pelayanan ekstra dan jaminan khusus bagi ibu dan bayi sejak hamil sampai setelah melahirkan, adalah untuk menyelamatkan nyawa manusia, menghindari kematian ibu dan anak serta membantu kesehatan dalam artian memastikan dalam kondisi baik dan aman. Pemanfaatan Jampersal kurang diminati oleh masyarakat, hal ini dikarenakan adanya pola pikir dari masyarakat bahwa program pemerintah tidak memberikan pelayanan yang bermutu seperti yang diluar program pemerintah atau secara umum baik di rumah sakit maupun di tempat praktik bidan atau rumah bersalin. Program Jampersal merupakan salah satu terobosan dan solusi dari pemerintah bagi masyarakat kurang mampu, meskipun kondisi pelayanannya belum sesuai dengan yang diharapkan, artinya program dari pemerintah tanpa biaya ini jangan sampai kualitasnya jelek dan tidak layak, karena tentu saja hal tersebut bertentangan dengan keadilan sosial. Kendala dalam pelaksanaan kebijakan program Jampersal terletak pada sarana dan prasarana sekolah yang masih belum dapat dipenuhi oleh Pemerintah melalui Dinas Kesehatan dalam rangka memberikan pelayanan bagi ibu hamil. Faktor pendukung. Kualitas dan adanya sumpah profesi dan kemanusiaan membuat tenaga medis memberikan pelayanan yang prima dan ekstra kepada masyarakat, khususnya kepada ibu yang akan melahirkan. Sedangkan faktor penghambat. Belum semua sarana yang dimiliki oleh Puskesmas di Kota Prabumulih memenuhi syarat dan kriteria yang cukup untuk mendorong terlaksananya program Jampersal, sehingga kedepannya harus banyak dilakukan pembenahan.

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.

One reason for the lack of information regarding the economic costs of disability or death and the benefits of immunisation when children in the vicinity are not fully immunised is the discovery of signatures. Many people are confused by the terms vaccination and immunisation. Immunisation is given to neonates as soon as possible because it can avoid primary diseases through vaccination. If the baby receives the right vaccination, he will be protected from dangerous diseases such as disabilities. Basic immunisation of infants and toddlers is a routine immunisation programme as well as an additional immunisation programme to prevent communicable diseases (PD3I) such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, hepatitis B, and measles to reduce morbidity, mortality and disability in infants and children. BCG once, DPT-HB three times, Polio four times, HB Uniject once, and measles once are the basic vaccines. These vaccines must be given to all infants to prevent diseases from entering the body. The method used was analytical survey research. Exploration of how and why this phenomenon occurs is the goal of the analytical survey research approach.

Accination actively seeks to create/enhance a person's immunity to disease. Vaccination protects children from several immunisation-preventable diseases (VPDs). Some of the infectious diseases included in VPDs are tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, whooping cough, measles, polio, and meningitis. Vaccinated children will be protected from dangerous diseases that can cause injury or death. This study is included in analytical observational research, which does not conduct treatment on research subjects with the aim of providing a clearer picture of the problem in the subject. This type of research is a type of survey with a cross sectional design or where the data collection process is carried out at the same time between independent variables, namely factors that influence the provision of complete basic immunisation in infants. Based on the table, it can be seen that the majority of mothers have a high school education as many as 30 people, the majority of mothers who work as housewives as many as 46 people, the majority of mothers have less knowledge as many as 52 people, the majority of mothers with incomplete basic immunisation as many as 56 people.
