The same was found in the measurement of Birth Weight showing a significant difference between the intervention group Honey + Fe (mean 3030 ± 495.53) and the Fe control group (mean 2521 ± 390.75), with a p value: 0,000 (<0.05 ) In contrast to the results of placental weight measurements, no significant differences were found between the intervention group Honey + Fe (mean 520 ± 43.37) and the Fe control group (mean 504 ± 47.65), with a p value: 0.250 (>0.05) .
