Abstract
Exclusive breastfeeding is giving only breast milk to babies, without other drinks food, or water, except for oral rehydration fluids, drops, or syrup containing vitamins, mineral supplements, or drugs recommended by health workers for medical reasons. Breast milk contains complete nutrition which is very good for growth and development and is easily digested by babies. Mothers who exclusively breastfeed find it easier and faster to lose weight to their pre-pregnancy state. As the gestational age increases, there is a progressive accumulation of maternal body fat. These fat reserves are a source of energy that will be used in the process of producing breast milk. By breastfeeding, the body will produce more breast milk so that fat deposits that function as energy reserves will be used. Thus shrinking fat deposits, the mother's weight will quickly return to its pre-pregnancy state. At present, postpartum weight gain is a separate problem for mothers because of frequent postpartum weight retention. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of exclusive breastfeeding on maternal weight in the postpartum period. A research design used in this study is the pretest-posttest control group design. This study used a group of mothers who exclusively breastfed and a group of mothers who did not exclusively breastfeed as a control group. Data on exclusive and non-exclusive breastfeeding were taken using a questionnaire, while the mother's weight immediately after delivery was taken from the mother's KMS or health worker documents. Calorie intake data was taken using the semi-SSQ questionnaire. While data on body weight in the range of 0-6 months, was taken by way of the researcher weighing directly using the same scales for each respondent. research results obtained Exclusive breastfeeding on mothers causing maternal weight loss in the first 6 months postpartum. Weight retention did not occur as in the non-exclusive breastfeeding group.
期刊介绍：
Welfare states have made well-being one of the main focuses of public policies. Social policies entail, however, complicated, and sometimes almost insurmountable, issues of prioritization, measurement, problem evaluation or strategic and technical decision making concerning aim-setting or finding the most adequate means to ends. Given the pressures to effectiveness it is no wonder that the last several decades have witnessed the imposition of research-based social policies as standard as well as the development of policy-oriented research methodologies. Legitimate social policies are, in this context, more and more dependent on the accurate use of diagnostic methods, of sophisticated program evaluation approaches, of benchmarking and so on. Inspired by this acute interest, our journal aims to host primarily articles based on policy research and methodological approaches of policy topics. Our journal is open to sociologically informed contributions from anthropologists, psychologists, statisticians, economists, historians and political scientists. General theoretical papers are also welcomed if do not deviate from the interests stated above. The editors also welcome reviews of books that are relevant to the topics covered in the journal.
