Exclusive breastfeeding rates in Indonesia remain low, with most infants not exclusively breastfed even for two months. Continued efforts are crucial to promote exclusive breastfeeding and support working mothers.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatrics
  • Nutrition

Background:

  • Indonesia launched a national breastfeeding movement in 1990, leading to the establishment of Baby Friendly Hospitals.
  • Despite national efforts, exclusive breastfeeding rates in Indonesia are significantly low.
  • Data indicates that exclusive breastfeeding duration in Indonesia is approximately two months.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the status of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia.
  • To examine breastfeeding practices among working mothers in Indonesia.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of national health survey data (SKRT 1992) on exclusive breastfeeding duration.
  • Review of existing literature and data on breastfeeding practices, including those of working mothers.

Main Results:

  • Only 63.7% of infants were exclusively breastfed until 3 months according to 1992 data.
  • The quality of breast milk is generally good, but a quarter of cases show poor quality, necessitating intervention.
  • Working mothers often practice early weaning and mixed feeding due to work demands.

Conclusions:

  • Sustained and intensified efforts are required to promote breastfeeding in Indonesia.
  • Key areas for improvement include increasing the duration of exclusive breastfeeding (aiming for at least 4 months) and addressing the challenges faced by working mothers.
