Hubungan pemberian ASI eksklusif terhadap perkembangan bayi: A systematic literature review

Abstract

Abstract Background: The highest rate of exclusive breastfeeding occurs in newborn babies, reaching 67%. However, this figure decreases to 55% in babies aged two to three months, and falls again to 38% in babies aged four to five months. Exclusive breast milk is the practice of giving breast milk to babies alone, without additional food or other drinks, during the first six months of life. Apart from rapid physical growth, articulation and psychomotor development also occurs quickly. Breast milk is the main food/nutrient at this time. The first 4 months of a baby's life are the optimal way to provide nutrition to the baby. Purpose: To examine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and infant development. Method: Literature review using the PRISMA method. Data was obtained from ScienceDirect with the inclusion criteria of articles from the last 5 years, research article type, and English language. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) has a positive relationship with baby development. These findings show that babies who receive EBF have normal body weight, height according to growth standards, and achieve better motor skills. Conclusion: This literature review provides evidence that babies who receive EBF have normal body weight, height according to growth standards, and achieve better motor achievements. Keywords: Baby Development; Exclusive Breastfeeding.
