Prelacteal Feeding Practices in Indonesian Urban and Rural Areas based on 2017 IDHS Data

Abstract

Background: Pre-lacteal feeding is a challenge for the success of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aims to analyze the relationship between residence in rural and urban areas with the practice of pre-lacteal feeding and the type of pre-lacteal food given. Methods: The study use secondary data from Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS)-2017. The variables studied were the subject's residence (rural-urban), pre-lacteal feeding, and the type of pre-lacteal food given. The subjects of this study were 8841 subjects. Data analysis carried out included univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: There was no relationship between residence in rural/urban areas and the practice of pre-lacteal feeding (p>0.05). There was a relationship between residency in rural/urban areas and the type of pre-lacteal food given, namely milk other than breast milk, plain water, sugar water, formula milk, honey, coffee, and other fluids (p<0.001; p=0.003; p<0.001 ; p<0.001; p<0.001; p=0.011; p<0.001). Water, sugar water, honey, and coffee are pre-lacteal foods frequently given in rural areas. Milk other than breast milk and formula milk is pre-lacteal food frequently given in urban areas. Conclusion: residency in rural/urban areas is not related to pre-lacteal feeding practices but is related to the type of pre-lacteal food given. Suggestion: it is necessary to conduct a national study to analyze the factors related to the types of pre-lacteal food given in rural and urban areas.
