Abstract

Diarrhea is a prevalent infectious ailment among babies and young children. Exclusive breastfeeding decreases the occurrence of diarrhea. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of exclusive breastfeeding in reducing the occurrence of diarrhea among babies aged 6–12 months in Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. This study employs an observational design utilizing a cross-sectional method. The research sample consisted of babies aged 6–12 months residing in Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. We gathered data by utilizing a questionnaire. We used the chi-square test to analyze the data. The study's findings indicated a notable correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and the occurrence of diarrhea (p = 0.001). Babies who receive exclusive breast milk have a significantly reduced risk, 13.661 times lower, of developing diarrhea compared to babies who do not receive exclusive breast milk. In conclusion, exclusive breastfeeding is efficacious in avoiding diarrhea among babies aged 6–12 months.

Abstract

Sleep is a vital physiological need for infant growth and development. Its quality depends not only on duration but also on the restorative benefits gained during rest. In Indonesia, infant sleep disorders remain common, while parental awareness is still limited. A simple non-pharmacological intervention is infant massage with lavender telon oil, which contains linalool and linalool acetate, known for their calming effects. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of infant massage with lavender telon oil on the sleep quality of infants aged 3–12 months at the Ciseureuh Village Posyandu, Purwakarta District. The research applied a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. The study population consisted of 32 infants aged 3–12 months, recruited through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire. Statistical analysis with a paired t-test showed a significant difference in infant sleep quality before and after the massage, with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). These findings confirm that infant massage with lavender telon oil effectively improves sleep quality in infants. In conclusion, infant massage using lavender telon oil can serve as a simple, safe, and affordable intervention to enhance sleep quality. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for healthcare providers, community health workers, and parents in promoting optimal infant growth and development through effective, non-invasive strategies.
