Abstract: The early
complementary feeding is foods or drinks that contain nutrients given to
infants under 6 months of age. The early complementary feeding at this time
will reduce the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. The coverage of exclusive
breastfeeding in the Puskesmas Teluk Karang was still low about 32,8% (in 2014)
while the national target was 80%. It is suspected related to factors of social
culture and family support. The purpose of this study was to understand factors
influenced the mothers in giving the early complementary feeding in working
area of UPTD Puskesmas Teluk Karang, Subdistrict of Bajenis, City of Tebing
Tinggi in 2015.
Type of this research was analytical observation study with the cross
sectional design. The research was done since November 2013 until January 2015.
Population in this research were all mothers who had infant aged between 7-12
months in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Teluk Karang, Subdistrict of
Bajenis, City of Tebing Tinggi which was being as samples as 106 mothers. The
multiple logistic regression is used to analyze the data.
The result of the research showed that the early complementary feeding is
high enough i.e 89,6%. From the multivariate analysis, it was proved that the
factors influenced the early complementary feeding are the social culture
(p=0,008) and the family support (p<0,001). The dominant factor influenced
this early complementary feeding was family support (coefficient of B=3,021).
It’s suggested that breastfeeding mothers are not easily influenced by
the social culture in the communities and families are expected to provide
support so that mothers still exclusively breastfed, by fulfilling the
nutritional needs during lactation so that it produced the qualified
breastfeeding in the sufficient quantities.
