Abstract

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding can contribute to reducing morbidity and mortality, as well as preventing infectious diseases in babies, such as diarrhea. Diarrhea has the potential to become an Extraordinary Event (KLB) and is one of the causes of death in every age group, especially children under 5 years of age. This study aims to determine the incidence of diarrhea in babies aged 0-6 months who receive exclusive breast milk and non-exclusive breast milk and to determine the risk between babies who receive exclusive breast milk and babies who do not receive exclusive breast milk regarding the incidence of diarrhea. Materials and Methods The type of research in this study was an analytical survey with a case-control cohort retrospective design conducted at the Pasar Rebo District Health Center, with a sample size (n) of 60 babies. The total sample was 60, 30 babies (50%) with exclusive breast milk and 30 babies (50%) with non-exclusive breast milk Results: Babies who received exclusive breast milk had a history of diarrhea, which was less, namely one baby (3.3%) while babies who did not 10 babies received exclusive breast milk (33.3%). Statistical data shows (p) = 0.003 (p < 0.05) and the Odds Ratio obtained between these two variables is 0.69 with 95% Cl between 1.45 - 1.88 and the value r = -0.388 with p = 0.002. There is a significant relationship between a history of diarrhea and a history of exclusive breastfeeding in babies aged 0-6 months at the Pasar Rebo District Health Center. The value of r = -0.388 with p = 0.002 obtained concludes that if exclusive breastfeeding is increased, the incidence of diarrhea in babies will decrease. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between a history of diarrhea and a history of exclusive breastfeeding in babies aged 0-6 months at the Pasar Rebo District Health Center. The value of r = -0.388 with p = 0.002 obtained concludes that if exclusive breastfeeding is increased, the incidence of diarrhea in babies will decrease.
