Background: Growth faltering is a condition of growth disturbance that marked by slower growth velocity compared with previous growth chart. Growth faltering can cause effects in immune response, cognitive, & physical and psychomotor disturbance, behavioral disorder, learning problems, higher risk of infection and mortality.Objectives: To analyze risk factor of growth faltering in infant aged 2-12 months.Materials and Methods: A case control study was conducted in Public Health Center in Semarang city. Subject were infants aged 2 until 12 months with growth faltering. Variables were divided to exclusive breastfeeding, mother’s education, mother’s employment, social economic status, infection, mother’s nutrition and gestational age. Anthropometric and questionnaire data were obtained and analyzed among 116 infants. Statistic test used Chi square and multivariate analysis.Results: Chi-square analysis showed that breastfeeding (p=0.016) and gender (p=0.04) had a significant relationship with growth faltering in infant 2-12 months. Under standard parent’s income (p=0.809), Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARTI) (p=0.377), diarrhea (p=0.243), mother’s nutrition (p=1.00), gestational age (p=0.77), low mother’s education (p=0.83) and working mother (p=0.26) didn’t have a significant relationship with growth faltering in infant aged 2-12 months. Multivariate analysis showed that gender (p=0.035) and breastfeeding (p=0.019) were the most influencing variable to growth faltering. In 2-6 group, breastfeeding pattern had significant relationship with growth faltering (p=0.77)Conclusions: Breastfeeding and gender were risk factors of growth faltering in infant aged 2-12 months. Further research needed on how to prevent growth faltering in first 1000 days of life so it may avoid stunting in later life.
Background: Maternal dietary intake during the period of lactation has an impact on infants growth. Macronutrients in breast milk are affected by several factors such as maternal dietary intake and maternal nutritional status. This study aims to prove the association between maternal protein and fat intake with the composition of breast milk and growth of infants (age 0–6 months). Methods: Prospective study was conducted for 6 months in 41 mother-infant pairs who were exclusively breastfed, and visited to hospitals or health centres. The mothers age is <40 years old with normal and single pregnancy. The breast milk was collected and analyzed using Human Milk Analyzer. Results: There was a negative correlation between maternal protein intake and breast milk composition at 3 months old infants ( p = 0.042), between fat intake with HAZ score at 2 weeks ( p = 0.048), and between protein intake with HAZ score at 3 months ( p = 0.049). Finally, there was a significant increase in WAZ and HAZ score in all sample groups. Although the maternal protein intake of our subjects were only at 83% of Indonesian's RDA average, the protein composition of breast milk and the growth of the infants was sufficient. Conclusion: There is correlation between maternal dietary intake with the composition of breastmilk and infant growth. Even though the calories and protein intake of the mother is lower than the RDA, the breast milk is still sufficient for the growth of infants aged 0–6 months who are exclusively breastfed.
Background Low birth weight (LBW) is closely related to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Management of LBW infants in developing countries remains limited, due to the low availability of incubators. The Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) method has been shown to be effective for newborns, especially LBW infants, in which skin-to-skin contact may be conducive for infants' weight gain, thermoregulation, and heart rate stability. Objective To determine the prognostic factors for KMC success in LBW babies. Methods This cohort study included LBW infants at Dr. Kariadi General Government Hospital, Semarang, by a consecutive sampling method. Success of KMC was assessed by infant weight gain, as well as stabilization of temperature, heart rate, and respiration. Prognostic factors for KMC success that we assessed were birth weight, gestational age, KMC duration, age at KMC onset and maternal education level. Statistical analyses used were Chi-square and relative risk (RR) tests. Results Of 40 LBW infants, 24 were successful in KMC. Birth weight ≥ 1500 grams (RR 0.4; 95%CI 0.23 to 0.73; P=0.001)], gestational age ≥ 34 weeks (RR 0.94; 95%CI 0.46 to 1.89; P=1.00), KMC duration ≥ 65 minutes (RR 1.44; 95%CI 0.76 to 2.75; P= 0.215), high maternal education level (RR 1.25; 95%CI 0.76 to 2.04; P=0.408), and age at KMC onset >10 days (RR 2.69; 95%CI 1.14 to 6.32; P=0.003), were factors that related to the successful of KMC. Conclusion Age at KMC onset > 10 days was a prognostic factor for KMC success in low birth weight babies. [Paediatr Indones. 2015;55:142-6.].
Latar belakang. Diperkirakan prevalensi masalah emosional dan perilaku pada anak adalah sebesar 20%. Terdapat berbagai macam jenis masalah emosional dan perilaku seperti gangguan emosi, gangguan perilaku, hiperaktif, dan masalah dengan teman sebaya. Masalah emosional dan perilaku dipengaruhi oleh multifaktor yang masing-masing dapat berdiri sendiri atau saling mempengaruhi. Nutrisi dan stimulasi yang adekuat sebagai dasar perkembangan anak wajib diberikan secara optimal. Perawakan pendek merupakan salah satu bentuk dari gangguan nutrisi kronik yang dapat menimbulkan berbagai macam masalah emosional dan perilaku pada anak. Mengingat penatalaksanaan masalah emosional dan perilaku tidak dapat dilaksanakan sebelum dilakukannya identifikasi jenis masalah emosional dan perilaku, maka identifkasi jenis masalah emosional dan perilaku penting untuk dilakukan.Tujuan penelitian. Mengetahui prevalensi dan jenis masalah emosional dan perilaku yang terjadi pada anak dengan perawakan pendek.Metode penelitian. Merupakan penelitian observasional deskriptif. Penelitian dilakukan di beberapa sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Brebes. Subyek penelitian adalah anak berperawakan pendek umur 9-11 tahun. Variabel yang diteliti adalah masalah emosional dan perilaku pada anak perwakan pendek menggunakan kuesioner SDQ. Hasil Penelitian. Sebanyak 70 anak perawakan pendek terdiri dari 30(42.85%) anak perempuan, dengan rerata umur subyek 121.14±6.62 bulan. Subyek dengan nilai total kesulitan abnormal sebanyak 6(8%) dan borderline 28(40%). Skala gangguan emosi abnormal sebanyak 17(24.2%) dan borderline 12(17.1%). Subyek dengan skala masalah perilaku abnormal sebanyak 19(27.1%) dan borderline sebanyak 21(30%). Subyek dengan skor masalah dengan teman sebaya dalam klasifikasi abnormal sebanyak 23(32.8%) dan borderline 18(25.7%).Simpulan. Prevalensi masalah emosional dan perilaku yang terjadi pada anak dengan perawakan pendek lebih tinggi daripada prevalensi masalah emosional dan perilaku pada populasi anak normal. Urutan jenis masalah yang paling tinggi adalah masalah dengan teman sebaya, kemampuan prososial yang kurang, masalah perilaku dan emosi.
