<![CDATA[Ikterus neonatorum adalah kondisi umum pada bayi baru lahir yang ditandai dengan kulit dan sklera berwarna kuning akibat peningkatan kadar bilirubin. Pemberian Air Susu Ibu (ASI) sejak dini diketahui dapat membantu eliminasi bilirubin dan mencegah ikterus. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan antara jenis pemberian air susu (ASI dan pengganti ASI/PASI) dengan kejadian ikterus pada bayi baru lahir di Puskesmas Garuda. Desain penelitian ini adalah analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional, populasi 33 bayi yang mengalami ikterus dan dipilih melalui teknik accidental sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan lembar observasi Kramer, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mayoritas bayi menerima ASI (75,76%) dan sebagian besar mengalami ikterus derajat I (57,58%). Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara pemberian air susu dengan derajat ikterus (α< 0,05), Kesimpulannya, pemberian ASI secara dini dan eksklusif penting dalam mencegah ikterus neonatorum. Abstract Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in newborns, characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera due to elevated bilirubin levels. Early breastfeeding is known to accelerate bilirubin elimination and help prevent jaundice. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the type of milk feeding (breast milk and formula) and the incidence of jaundice in newborns at Garuda Public Health Center. The study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 33 jaundiced newborns selected by accidental sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and Kramer observation sheets, and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results showed that most babies were breastfed (75.76%) and experienced grade I jaundice (57.58%). A significant relationship was found between the type of milk feeding and the degree of jaundice (α<0,05). In conclusion, early and exclusive breastfeeding plays a crucial role in preventing neonatal jaundice.]]>
