Abstract

Breast milk (ASI) is the first and best food that must be given to babies because it contains nutrients that are needed in the process of growth and development of children's intelligence. Increasing breast milk production can be done in two ways, namely pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. One action that can be done to help the release of breast milk is through oxytocin massage which can be done by massaging the area around the back (pars thoratica vertebrae) to stimulate the release of milk. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of oxytocin footing on breast milk expenditure in postpartum mothers in Batam City in 2023. The type of research used is quasi-experiment with pretest research design and posttest one group design. The data analysis used was Paired t-test and this study was conducted for 5 days. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling with 17 respondents. The results of this study based on statistical tests obtained P value = 0.0001 with a difference of 3.06%, which means that it can be a significant difference before and after soy milk consumption. Conclusion: there is a significant influence between oxytocin footing on breast milk production in postpartum mothers in the working area of Batu Aji Health Center Batam City.

Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is an important indicator in maternal and neonatal health as it contributes to increased infant morbidity and mortality. In Batam City, the incidence of LBW in 2024 was 388 out of 23,424 live births, or 1.7% of LBW cases across 21 Public Health Centers. This study was conducted at UPT Batu Aji Public Health Center from October 10–14, 2025. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between maternal age and parity with the incidence of Low Birth Weight (LBW) in the working area of UPT Batu Aji Public Health Center, Batam City, in 2025.This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was Systematic Random Sampling, with 260 samples drawn from a population of 742. Data collection was carried out using a checklist form, and data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed that the incidence of LBW was higher among mothers aged <20 years (66.7%) and >35 years (17.0%), as well as among primiparous mothers (32.7%) and grand multiparous mothers (22.6%). The chi-square test for maternal age and parity revealed a p-value <0.05. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between maternal age and parity with the incidence of Low Birth Weight (LBW) in the working area of UPT Batu Aji Public Health Center.
