Maternal Energy Intake at the Sixth Month as Dominant Factor of Exclusive Breastfeeding Success
Abstract: Breastfeeding
mothers needed adequate energy intake to provide 6-month exclusive
breastfeeding that is necessary for infant growth and development. This study
aimed to investigate real intake at the first and sixth month of breastfeeding
and determine the dominant factor affecting 6-month exclusive breastfeeding
provision. The design of this study was cross-sectional conducted in
March-April 2015 among 109 mothers with 6-12- month-old infant living and
registered at integrated health care in Kalangan Primary Health Care area. Data
were collected through interview using questionnaires. Breastfeeding mothers’
intake was asked using Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. The
study found that 6-month exclusive breastfeeding proportion was 22.9%. Mean
energy intake of breastfeeding mothers declined from 2551 kcal/day in the first
month of breastfeeding to 1718 kcal/day in the sixth month of breastfeeding.
After controlled by other variables, energy intake in the sixth month of
breastfeeding was found to be the most dominant factor affecting 6-month
exclusive breastfeeding provision. Mothers with low energy intake at the sixth
month of breastfeeding period were likely 9 times more to fail in providing
6-month exclusive breastfeeding compared to those with adequate energy intake.
