Berikut adalah beberapa temuan penting: n Sekitar 43% ibu hamil yang disurvei mengaku makan kurang dari tiga kali per hari ketika hamil dan 35% mengaku makan lebih sedikit, terutama pada trimester pertama kehamilan. Padahal, inilah masa kritis pertumbuhan janin. n Masih banyak ibu hamil yang pantang makan sumber protein hewani seperti gurita atau cumi karena takut bayi terlilit tali pusar, tidak bersih, dan sulit dalam bersalin. n Walaupun 65% ibu mengaku telah menjalani Inisiasi Menyusu Dini, prosedurnya belum benar. n Lebih dari 40% bayi sudah diberikan makanan/minuman selain ASI dalam tiga hari pertama seperti susu formula, air putih, atau madu. Praktik ini berbahaya n Sekitar 55% responden mengaku tidak memberikan ASI eksklusif 6 bulan. Pengetahuan ibu tentang ASI eksklusif rendah, dan ada anggapan bahwa susu formula sama baiknya dengan ASI. n Sejumlah 62% anak hanya mengkonsumsi serelia dan sayuran, padahal mereka butuh sumber protein hewani. Sedangkan 40% anak makan kurang dari tiga kali sehari dan tidak terbiasa untuk sarapan. n Sekitar 20% sumber air minum keluarga adalah dari sumur yang tidak terlindungi, dan 30% keluarga tidak melakukan pengolahan air minum seperti merebus air. n Sekitar 25% keluarga yang disurvei tidak buang air di jamban. n Masyarakat belum terbiasa cuci tangan dengan sabun dan air mengalir.

Karim Wirasaputra The MCA-Indonesia-initiated formative study concludes that many problems in nutritional-related behaviors are found in Indonesian communities. Among the key findings are: n Around 43% of respondents admitted they ate less than three times a day while pregnant, and 35% ate less than usual, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, which is actually the critical time for fetus growth. n Plenty of pregnant women avoided animal protein sources such as squid and octopus due to fear of the baby would be twisted by umbilical cord, the baby would be unclean, and mothers would face difficulty in delivery. n Although 65% of mothers claimed to conduct early initiation of breastfeeding, still they did not go through the correct procedures. n More than 40% of the babies were given foods and beverages other than breast milk, such as formula milk, water, and honey. This practice is dangerous for babies’ health. n Around 55% respondents admitted they did not give their children six months of exclusive breast milk. Mothers’ knowledge about exclusive breast milk is low, and there is a perception that formula milk is as good as breast milk. n Around 61% of the children only consumed cereals and vegetables, while they actually need animal protein. 40% of the children ate less than three times a day and were not used to having breakfast. n Around 20% of families had unprotected drinking water sources, and 30% of families did not treat the water, such as boiling it. n Around 25% of surveyed families did not defecate in toilets. n The communities were not used to washing hands with soap and running water. Only 30% of the respondents equipped their washing hands facilities with soap, and only 25% used running water. [email protected] 081294201238
