PENGARUH CARA PERSALINAN TERHADAP INISIASI LAKTASI

Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding on the first day would prevent 16% of neonatal deaths and if early breastfeeding was given within the first 1 hour would prevent 22% neonatal of mortality per year. Objective: To determine the effect of mode of delivery on the initiation of breastfeeding. Method: The study was prospective cohort. The study was conducted by taking all cases of vaginal delivery and caesarean sections in the obstetric department of Dr. Sardjito, Banjarnegara Hospital, Wates Hospital, Wonosari Hospital and Magelang Hospital that met the criteria from January to May 2014. Maternal data were recorded from the medical records and the data of breast milk secretion within 24 hours after delivery were collected from paramedical personnel who had been trained before. The statistical test that is used was Chi-square. Results and Discussion: Subjects who met the inclusion criteria consisted of 162 women. Based on the mode of delivery, breastfeeding initiation on the first day after vaginal delivery were done in 73 women (90,1%), while in the cesarean delivery group, the initiation were done in only 34 women (42%). There were no significant relationship between age, education level, women occupation, and parity with the initiation of the first day of postnatal breastfeding. Statistically, BMI <25 kg/m2 had a significant association with 24 hours of postnatal breastfeeding initiation, but not clinically significant. There is a significant association between mode of delivery and the first day of postnatal lactation breastfeeding (OR=20,17;95% CI 7,47 to 54,43; p= 0,000). Conclusions: The proportion of the first day of breastfeeding initiation was larger in vaginal delivery group compared with cesarean delivery group.
