Abstract

Background: Based on the Basic Health Research in 2013, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is 37.2%. Meanwhile, the prevalence of stunting in Central Java province is 36.2% and 28% in Boyolali regency. Stunting can intergrowth and development of children, cognitive, metabolism and decreases their activity. The low initiated and exclusive breastfeeding influences on the growth of children. The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between early initiated and exclusive breastfeeding and stunting incidence in children aged 6-24 months in Boyolali Regency. Method: The observational analytical study was performed in this study with the cross-sectional design approach. Research subjects were determined by using the purposive sampling technique. There were 33 stunting and 77 non-stunting children who were 6-24 months old. They were recruited from five Public Health Centers in Boyolali regency. In-depth interview and anthropometric measurement were used to obtain data of research subjects. Collected data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Result: Stunting was observed in children who got early initiated breastfeeding (22.2%) and exclusive breastfeeding (9.5%). There was correlation reached statistically signifance (p= 0,006) and (p=0,000) between early initiated and exclusive breastfeeding and stunting incidence in children aged 6-24 months. Children who did not get early initiated and exclusive breastfeeding have a higher risk 3.69 and 9.5 times to suffer stunting than children got early initiated and exclusive breastfeeding Conclusion: Early initiation and exclusive administration of breastfeeding decrease the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-24 months. In addition, exclusive breastfeeding has a higher effect to lower the stunting incidence. Therefore, the same perception of early initiated and exclusive breastfeeding should be implemented by pregnant women and health practitioners. Both breastfeeding manners should be included in the program of the first 1000 days of life. Keywords: children aged 6-24 months, early initiated breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, stunting
