Breastfeeding success often faces various challenges, one of which is the infant’s anatomical condition, such as a lip tie. Successful breastfeeding can be achieved if mothers and infants develop good breastfeeding skills, including correct LATCH technique. This study aims to determine the effect of breastfeeding education on breastfeeding effectiveness using the LATCH method among postpartum mothers with infants with lip tie at Krakatau Medika Hospital Cilegon. The research design was a quasi-experiment with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The study population included all breastfeeding mothers with infants diagnosed with lip tie, with a total sample of 29 participants selected through accidental sampling. The results showed that the rate of effective breastfeeding with good attachment before the education was 13.8% and increased to 41.4% after the education, with the mean breastfeeding effectiveness score rising from 4.86 to 6.97. The paired t-test revealed a significant difference between LATCH scores before and after the education (p < 0.001). It is recommended that Krakatau Medika Hospital develop a standard operating procedure (SOP) for breastfeeding education using the LATCH method.

This study analyzes the implementation of risk management at PT Lippo General Insurance Tbk over 2022–2024 using a qualitative descriptive approach. The review focuses on the four core risk-management cycles: identification, measurement, monitoring, and mapping–mitigation and on one key output: the risk profile assessment (inherent risk rating, quality rating of risk-management implementation, and implementation of risk level). The results indicate that risk-management processes are consistent and well documented through a risk register and supported by a Risk Management Information System, enabling rapid linkage of findings to action plans. Overall, the composite risk profile remains low, underpinned by a moderately strong quality of implementation and risk-level application. On the inherent-risk dimension, dynamics are observed: strategic risk improves in the final year, while insurance, credit, and liquidity risks rise relative to 2023. Nevertheless, the consistency of implementation quality and disciplined execution mitigates these effects, keeping the composite profile stable. Managerial implications include strengthening underwriting and claims management, enhancing counterparty and reinsurance quality, and enforcing liquidity discipline, while maintaining a strong risk culture and tiered monitoring mechanisms.
