Abstract

Breast milk is a natural food for babies and contains rare nutrients. The growth of the child, especially the length of the child body is influenced by the calcium contained in exclusively breast milk. Calcium intake can affect the mineralization of the new bone deposit matrix and osteoblast function. This study aimed to determine the relationship between calcium levels in breast milk on a history of exclusive breastfeeding with the body length of children aged 12 months in the Public Health Center, Padang. This research was carried out in the Public Health Center, Padang. The study started from June to October 2020. The research design used was “Cross-Sectional” with a sample of 102 people with a history of exclusive breastfeeding. Sampling was carried out by using simple random sampling. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariate by using the Spearman Correlation test. Assessment of calcium levels in bosom milk was finished by utilizing AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer) and body length by utilizing the Lengthboard. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the average calcium level in breast milk aged 12 months was. 1,83 mg/L ± 0,530. The average body length of children aged 12 months was 72.47 ± 1.88. In the correlation test, there was a weak relationship between’s calcium levels in breast milk and the body length of infants aged 12 months (p>0.05). In this study, it can be concluded that there is no relation between calcium levels in breast milk with a history of selective breastfeeding and the body length of newborn children matured a year.
