Abstract

Delayed cord clamping (DCC) is associated with improved iron stores and neurodevelopment in infants. This study investigates the impact of DCC on neonatal hemoglobin levels in term infants within Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. An observational study was conducted on term infants born at two hospitals in Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. One hospital routinely practiced immediate cord clamping (ICC, within 30 seconds), while the other practiced DCC (3 minutes after birth). Hemoglobin levels were measured within 24 hours of birth. A total of 200 infants (100 ICC, 100 DCC) were enrolled. The mean hemoglobin level in the DCC group was significantly higher than in the ICC group (17.5 g/dL vs. 16.2 g/dL, p < 0.001). Fewer infants in the DCC group required iron supplementation within the first six months (10% vs. 25%, p = 0.01). In conclusion, DCC is associated with higher hemoglobin levels in term infants in Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. This practice may reduce the need for iron supplementation and improve early infant health outcomes.

Abstract

Breast milk is essential for infant health, yet many postpartum mothers face challenges in milk production. This study examines the effect of Sauropus androgynus (katuk leaves) on breast milk adequacy among postpartum mothers in Village C, Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia, in 2024. Using a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, 36 respondents were assessed before and after consuming katuk leaves. Results showed that 58.3% of mothers experienced increased milk production post-intervention, with the highest improvement observed in multipara mothers (69.5%) and those aged 20–35 years (58.3%). Additionally, 80.5% of mothers breastfeeding more than eight times daily reported abundant milk. The Wilcoxon test confirmed the intervention's significance (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Findings align with prior research highlighting katuk leaves' efficacy due to their alkaloids, sterols, and nutrient content. The study concludes that regular consumption of katuk leaves enhances milk production, supporting its use as a natural lactation aid. Implications include promoting katuk leaves in maternal health programs to improve breastfeeding rates and infant nutrition.
