“…The correct de nition of nutritional programming was indicated by 29.3% of the breastfeeding women and only 24.1% of the pregnant women, which reveals the limited knowledge of these women about the importance of a woman's diet and lifestyle to the fetus. Research indicates that both pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy weight have an impact on the health of the baby [34][35][36][37]. Among those surveyed, 24.1% of the pregnant women and 27.6% of the breastfeeding women indicated that the maternal BMI index determines the health of a newborn child.…”

Background: Obesity is a chronic disease that affects all populations and age groups. The last decade has seen an increase in the incidence of overweight and obesity in women, also during pregnancy. Obesity in a woman who is expecting a baby can have serious health consequences for both her and the fetus, such as: hypertension, diabetes and other non-infectious diseases.Methods: The study was approved by a total of 232 women, including 120 pregnant and 112 lactating women aged 19-42. The study group consisted of women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, breastfeeding and mixed method (breastfeeding and milk replacers). A specially constructed questionnaire consisting of 10 questions was used in the study. Microsoft Excel 2010 and the SPSS 13.3 statistical program were used for the calculations.Results: Among pregnant women, 83.3% of them, and 50% during lactation, did not know the answer to the question of how the Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated. Women expecting a baby were more likely to mention pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes as consequences of overweight and obesity in a pregnant woman. Lactating women more often indicated breastfeeding as a factor protecting their child against obesity.Conclusion: The study shows that it is necessary to thoroughly educate pregnant and lactating women and those planning pregnancy about the risk factors and complications of obesity, especially during pregnancy, because it can affect both the health of the woman and the health of the child, including his body weight, which determines the emergence of many diseases in the future.

“…Budaya makan dengan pola setengah porsi sayur dan buah, seperempat porsi karbohidrat, dan seperempat porsi protein tampaknya masih harus disosialisasikan secara masif dan terus-menerus di masyarakat Indonesia. [33][34][35] Pemahaman mengenai suplementasi mikronutrien pada dosis intervensi atau dosis rumatan rasanya juga belum banyak dimengerti oleh masyarakat dan bahkan tenaga kesehatan. Penegakan diagnosis insufisiensi atau defisiensi nutrisi sering terkendala dengan mahalnya biaya pemeriksaan dan kemampuan laboratorium dalam memeriksa komponen nutrisi tersebut.…”

Tujuan mulia dari suatu kehamilan adalah untuk melahirkan insan yang berkualitas, guna mengemban amanah sang Maha Pencipta dimuka bumi ini. Tidak hanya lahir selamat yang diharapkan, namun juga lahir sehat, kuat, dan cerdas. Cerdas baik secara intelektualitasnya, maupun mental, spiritual, dan sosial. Untuk itu, dibutuhkan otak yang baik dan sehat. Otak adalah mikroprosesor sentral pada tubuh manusia. Otak berfungsi sebagai pusat penyimpanan dan analisis data. Otak berfungsi sebagai pusat pengendali seluruh proses fisiologis tubuh yang meliputi seluruh sistem organ, pusat informasi sensoris dan reaksi motorik, serta sebagai pusat seluruh bentuk intelegensi. Segala bentuk kondisi yang berpotensi menimbulkan jejas pada otak merupakan ancaman serius yang harus diantisipasi dengan baik. Persalinan preterm dan pertumbuhan janin yang terhambat adalah kondisi patologis tersering yang berpotensi tinggi untuk menimbulkan jejas otak. Jejas otak yang terjadi dapat ringan hingga berat dan dapat bersifat permanen. Pada kondisi ringan kemungkinan hanya intelegensi saja yang terpengaruh, seperti kemampuan numerik, verbal, dan komunikasi sosial yang berkurang. Sementara pada kondisi berat seperti cerebral palsy, dapat berakibat seorang individu menjadi tidak dapat hidup tanpa bantuan orang lain di sepanjang kehidupannya. Neuroproteksi otak janin antenatal menjadi langkah yang sangat penting dalam tata laksana problematika di atas. Belum adanya bentuk terapi dengan hasil yang memuaskan terhadap jejas otak yang sudah terlanjur terjadi, menggiring kita untuk dapat melakukan prediksi dan tindakan preventif terhadap segala bentuk kondisi patologis selama kehamilan dan persalinan yang berpotensi mencederai otak janin. Hal ini adalah konsep dasar dari neuroproteksi otak janin antenatal

“…Optimal maternal nutrition and complementary feeding are critical for the health and well-being of mothers and young children. Adequate nutrition during pregnancy is essential for the proper growth and development of the fetus and can help to reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth [ 1 – 3 ]. Similarly, optimal complementary feeding during the first two years of life is essential for the proper physical and cognitive development of young children and can help prevent malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency [ 1 ].…”

“…Adequate nutrition during pregnancy and early childhood can help to prevent stunted growth and promote more optimal growth and development, which can have positive impacts on children’s health and educational outcomes. It can also help to reduce the risk of maternal and child morbidity and mortality, which can have a significant impact on the overall health and well-being of families and communities [ 1 , 3 ].…”

Background Maternal and child nutrition is a significant public health concern because adequate nutrition is essential for the health, development, and well-being of mothers and children. Men can play a critical role in improving maternal and child health, including through their involvement in the nutrition of the mother and child. However, little has been studied on male involvement in maternal and child nutrition; therefore, this qualitative exploratory study focused on the level of male involvement and factors influencing male involvement in maternal and child nutrition in low-income urban informal settings. Methods Qualitative data collection methods were triangulated in the exploratory study to inform the study objectives. In-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted with 30 men and 20 women based on the inclusion criteria that they have children aged between 6 and 23 months. An additional 10 key informant interviews with stakeholders in nutrition within the study setting were also carried out. Data from the qualitative interviews were captured in audio files with informed consent and permission to record from the study participants. The interviews were transcribed and translated into English transcripts for coding and analysis. Themes were derived from the five levels of the socio-ecological model of human behavior, namely, (i) individual factors; (ii) interpersonal factors; (iii) community factors; (iv) institutional factors guided the analysis. Results Findings from the study revealed that personal beliefs and values, the nature of work, mistrust and stigma and discrimination, and the association clinic visits with HIV testing, were some of the factors that influenced male involvement in maternal and child nutrition. Conclusion It is important to recognize the potential value of research on the role of men in maternal and child nutrition and to identify ways to overcome the barriers to their involvement. By better understanding the factors that influence male involvement in maternal and child nutrition and the impact of this involvement on maternal and child nutrition, it may be possible to develop more effective interventions to promote the nutritional well-being of mothers and children.
