Abstract

During the first six to twenty-four months of a baby’s life, it is common practice to supplement breast milk with an additional meal or drink known as complementary food for breast milk (MP-ASI). Babies’ digestive systems grow at different rates, thus the amount of MP-ASI given to them should be adjusted accordingly. The population still often experiences the side effect of gastrointestinal problems caused by administering MP-ASI at an early stage. In order for the baby’s digestive system to adjust to the new food type—whether it’s liquid, soft, soft, or solid—MP-ASI must be introduced gradually. In coastal communities in the Amondo Health Center Working Area, South Konawe Regency. This study aims to examine the impact of maternal access information on the provision of early MP-ASI to infants aged 0–6 months. This research uses a cross-sectional analytical observational study. Of the moms surveyed, 171 had infants between the ages of 0 and 12 months. A questionnaire is used as the tool. The Chi-Square test was used for bivariate data analysis in a univariate fashion. In coastal settlements in the Amondo Health Center Working Area, South Konawe Regency, there is a notable correlation between the practice of giving early MP-ASI to newborns 0–6 months old and access to information (p-value of 0.000 < α (0.05)). The mother’s access information affects the success of giving suitable MP-ASI. Because moms can’t easily get their information, their knowledge is severely limited, and they act in line with what they know. The accessibility (or lack thereof) of healthcare services is one example of how the behavioral dimension elucidates the role of environmental variables.
