LITERATUR REVIEW : THE RELATIONSHIP OF EARLY BREASTFEEDING INITIATION TO NEONATUS: EFFORT TO IMPROVE BOUNDING ATTACHMENT AS A MEAN OF IMPROVING PHYSICAL AND PHYCHICAL HEALTH IN NEONATUS

Abstract

Introduction: Early Breastfeeding Initiation is the first step to allow the baby to breastfeed from an early age, namely in the first minutes within one hour after the baby is born by allowing direct skin contact between mother and baby until the initial breastfeeding process ends within one hour. or more. According to the theory, attachment occurs when an infant becomes close to a person or object that provides oral gratification. Thus, early initiation of breastfeeding has met the requirements for the formation of the baby's attachment to the mother. In addition, early initiation of breastfeeding can also improve physical and psychological health which affects child growth and development and reduces the risk of infant mortality and plays an important role in maternal health. Methodology: literature review from a collection of several journals (Google Scholar and Mendeley) in the period 2017-2021. Research findings: A good breastfeeding process from an early age will strengthen the bond between mother and baby (bounding attachment) which is important for the emotional, physical and psychological development of children in the future. Conclusions: Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) is the first step to allow the baby to suckle on its own immediately after birth and be breastfed for an hour or more. The principle of EIBF itself is to provide direct contact between the mother's skin and the baby's skin. This EIBF is very helpful for the release of colostrum which is very beneficial for the baby's immune system and it has been proven that babies who are given the opportunity to breastfeed within the first hour and allow direct contact between the baby and the mother, can reduce 22% infant mortality in the first 28 days.
