= 0.767. OR = 1,278 which means that respondents
with parity ≥ 2 people have 1.227 times the
opportunity to carry out IMD practices. This is in line
with research Faujiah (2009) there is no significant
relationship between each parity with the
implementation of IMD in newborns with p = 0.460.
In this study also in line with Nelvi (2000) the
proportion of multipara respondents 34.2% did an
IMD higher than that of primipara which is 29.5%.
The analysis showed that there was no significant
relationship between parity and IMD implementation.
This result is not in line with the opinion of
Ebrahim (2000) on a mother who experiences a
second lactation and so tends to have more experience
in carrying out early breastfeeding initiation (IMD).
Similarly, in the third lactation and so on. Whereas in
the first lactation the mother did not have experience
in breastfeeding so the mother did not know how to
carry out early breastfeeding initiation (IMD). These
findings are also not in line with Aflianti (2002)
mothers whose parity ≥ 2 children have a significant
relationship with the implementation of IMD with =
0.010 with an OR value = 9.171 which means mothers
who have children ≥2 children will have a 9.7 times
chance performing IMD compared to mothers whose
parity <2 children.
According to researchers, the implementation of
IMD by mothers is actually not entirely affected by
parity, because mothers with low parity will be more
careful in maintaining the health of their babies
because they are still their first or second child. But
according to the results I got, parity mothers ≥ 2
children had more experience than the first or the next
child, and knew more about the purpose and benefits
of IMD for the health of the mother and her baby.
4.4 Relationship between Knowledge
and Implementation of IMD
Practices
The results showed a significant relationship between
knowledge with the practice of IMD with a value of
p = 0,000. OR = 13.602 which means that
knowledgeable respondents have the opportunity
13.602 times to implement IMD practices. These
findings are in line with research Aflianti (2002)
mothers of high knowledge have a significant
relationship between knowledge and implementation
of IMD, that is, p = 0.029 with an OR value of 14.814,
which means mothers with high knowledge will have
14.8 times the opportunity to carry out IMD practices
compared to low knowledge mother. Knowledge is
one of the factors that is suspected to influence a
person's behavior in acting or doing something.
According to Notoatmodjo (2008), knowledge is the
result of sensing a certain object. Most of human
knowledge is obtained through the eyes and ears. Like
education, knowledge also has a level, namely know,
understand, application, analysis, synthesis, and
evaluation, knowledge is a very important domain for
the formation of one's actions.
The implementation of IMD is very important. If
individuals, families, health workers and the
community, especially postpartum mothers, have
understood the understanding, benefits, and goals and
benefits of IMD, then IMD can be implemented well
so that it can be expected to increase the coverage of
exclusive breastfeeding, especially in the working
area of Gunung Tua Puskesmas in Panyabungan
District in this case. to increase public awareness in
implementing IMD is not just knowing and
understanding but it needs awareness and
understanding to inform mothers and the community
about the importance and benefits of implementing
IMD in the form of counseling and counseling.
4.5 Relationship between BBs and
Birth Babies with the
Implementation of IMD Practices
The results showed a significant relationship between
BB babies born with IMD practice = 0.008. OR =
3,717 which means that respondents whose birth
weight is 3,717 times have an IMD practice.
Furthermore, this study is in line with research
Faujiah (2009) which says there is a significant
relationship between birth weight of babies with the
implementation of early breastfeeding initiation
(IMD).
According to this study Harianti, Y. (2005) that
babies with low birth weight (premature), should be
given ASI from their own mothers, if there are no
complications such as breathing difficulties, sepsis,
and malformations. So most premature babies are
usually able to breastfeed immediately.
Based on the statement of Greece Greece (2009)
states that babies with birth weight <2500 grams can
breastfeed properly. This success is due to various
factors such as the mother's very high motivation to
make early contact with her baby at any time and get
help and attention from nurses who understand about
IMD.
BB of a baby born ≥ 2500 gram is one of the
variables that greatly influences the implementation
of IMD, because babies whose weight < 2500 grams
are difficult to respond to the mother's chest because
the baby's weight is still low.
