Abstract

Complementary Feeding is food and drinks given to babies who have reached the age of 6 months and above to fulfill their nutritional needs. Therefore Complementary Feeding is only introduced to babies after they reach the age of 6 months or older. Complementary Feeding represents the transitional stage from breastfeeding to family foods gradually, both in terms of types and frequency of provision, portion sizes, and the form of food that is suitable for the age and digestive capacity of the baby. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of counseling on MP-ASI on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of toddlers aged 0-24 months at Nurtiana Ginting Clinic from December 2023 to March 2024. This research method uses an experimental approach with a pre-experimental design known as the one-group pretest-posttest design. In this approach, before counseling, respondents were asked to fill out questionnaires before (pretest) and after (posttest) counseling. Subsequently, the researcher compared the results of the pretest with the posttest. The research sample consisted of 38 mothers who had toddlers aged 0-24 months. Bivariate data analysis used the Wilcoxon test because the data were not normally distributed. Initially, only 5 respondents (13%) had good knowledge. However, after counseling, the number of respondents with good knowledge increased to 34 people (89%). The attitudes of mothers before counseling showed that 11 respondents (29%) had good attitudes, while after counseling, the number of respondents with good attitudes increased to 32 people (84%). The results of bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of toddlers after counseling. These findings indicate that nutrition counseling is effective in carving positive changes in the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of toddlers. The implication of this research is the need for broader and more focused nutrition counseling programs to support the health and nutrition of toddlers.

Abstract

Breast milk dams are a common problem often experienced by postpartum mothers, which if not treated properly can cause pain, infection and obstacles in the breastfeeding process. One method that is known to be effective in preventing breast milk dams is by applying warm water compresses. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of postpartum mothers regarding giving warm water compresses and preventing breast milk dams. This study used a cross-sectional design involving 60 postpartum mothers at the Juliana Clinic, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Data was collected through a questionnaire that measured the mother's level of knowledge about warm water compresses and the incidence of breast milk dams. The results showed that the majority of mothers had sufficient (41.7%) and good (33.3%) knowledge about warm water compresses, while 25% of mothers had insufficient knowledge. As many as 58.3% of mothers did not experience breast milk dams, while the other 41.7% experienced breast milk dams. The results of the chi-square test showed that there was a significant relationship between postpartum mothers' knowledge about warm water compresses and prevention of breast milk dams (p-value < 0.05). Mothers with good knowledge experience breast milk dams less often than mothers who have less knowledge. In conclusion, good knowledge about warm water compresses has proven effective in preventing breast milk dams. More intensive education and counseling for postpartum mothers is needed to increase their knowledge about appropriate breast care techniques to prevent lactation problems.
