Abstract

One of the nutritional problems of children in Indonesia is stunting. Fulfillment of nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life is related to stunting. WHO recommends breastfeeding and breastfeeding as a method of feeding babies to achieve optimal growth and development. This descriptive study aims to provide an overview of the feeding practices of stunted and non-stunting toddlers as seen in the feeding history included in the Toddler Feeding Area Chart from 0-6 months of age. This research found that giving breast milk alone to stunted toddlers (52.17%) was lower than non-stunting toddlers (66.67%), and the most common feeding pattern for stunted toddlers was formula milk.

Abstract

- Background: Contemporary maternity care emphasizes not only maternal and neonatal safety but also the quality of women’s childbirth experiences. However, increasing medicalization of labor has been associated with diminished maternal autonomy, heightened anxiety, and negative birth experiences. Women-Centered Care (WCC) offers a midwifery-led approach that prioritizes respect, empowerment, partnership, and individualized care. Within this framework, relaxation techniques serve as non-pharmacological strategies to support physiological labor and enhance maternal wellbeing. Objective: This narrative review aims to examine current evidence on relaxation techniques used during labor and their role in reducing pain and anxiety while promoting positive childbirth experiences in alignment with women-centered care principles. Methods: A narrative review of recent literature was conducted using PubMed, Wiley, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Studies published within the last five years were included without restrictions on study design, focusing on relaxation techniques applied during intrapartum care. Results: The findings indicate that various relaxation techniques—including breathing exercises, manual techniques, music therapy, aromatherapy, and hydrotherapy—are effective in alleviating labor pain and anxiety. These interventions support neuroendocrine processes essential for physiological labor, enhance women’s sense of control, and improve overall childbirth satisfaction. Relaxation techniques also reinforce key components of WCC by fostering autonomy, comfort, and active participation in the birthing process. Conclusion: Relaxation techniques are effective, safe, and feasible interventions that support the implementation of women-centered childbirth care. Their integration into intrapartum midwifery practice can enhance maternal wellbeing, promote positive birth experiences, and strengthen respectful and holistic maternity care.
