The decline in infant mortality rates slowed between 2003 to 2012 from 35 to 32 per 1,000 live births, all babies need access to key interventions such as exclusive breastfeeding. The success of these programs are driven by health workers, but the researches that analyze information about exclusive breastfeeding program on health workers, especially in Bengkulu had never been examined.

The results showed that 69.7% of the mothers did not practice exclusive breastfeeding and 54.5% did not practice early initiation of breastfeeding. Analysis of early initiation of breastfeeding factor as the dominant factor for failure of exclusive breastfeeding. The qualitative analysis showed confidence and perception of little milk production are factor for unsuccessful early initiation of breastfeeding .
Birth length is an essential indicator for assessing stunting risk and for subsequent development in adulthood. Maternal factors, height, and gender characteristics have implications for fetal linear growth. This study aimed to determine the correlation between maternal factors: upper arm circumference (LILA), maternal height, father's height, and baby's gender and its relationship to the length of the baby's birth in Kota Bengkulu. The study design was a cross sectional study. Subjects in this study were 145 pairs of pregnant women and their babies who were selected by consecutive sampling technique. Data is obtained by direct measurement and examinationdata analysis using correlation test, independent t-test, and multiple linear regression. The average baby's birth length is 48.7 cm, the baby is born short (<48 cm) 31%. There was a significant relationship between maternal factors (height and LILA) and gender with infant birth length (p <0.005) and father height not correlated with birth length (p> 0.005). Maternal height is the dominant factor associated with the period of the baby's birth.
