One of the indicators of a country’s success in improving public health is the reduction in infant mortality rates (IMR). One of the main contributors to the high IMR is Low Birth Weight (LBW). Babies born with LBW tend to experience cognitive developmental disorders, mental retardation, and are more prone to infections that can lead to illness or even death.This study aims to examine the extent to which one of the factors causing low birth weight, namely maternal infectious diseases, is associated with LBW incidence. The research was conducted in Majene Regency, specifically in the East Banggae and Banggae subdistricts. This study employed a cross-sectional design with an accidental sampling method involving 80 respondents. In this study, we observed symptoms of infections such as sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, and cough lasting less than two weeks. Statistical analysis revealed that none of the variables were significant (p-value > 0.05). It is important to conduct further research on the relationship between maternal infectious diseases and LBW, focusing on different study locations.

Stunting adalah kondisi di mana anak gagal tumbuh atau mengalami keterlambatan pertumbuhan akibat kekurangan gizi jangka panjang. Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT) bertujuan untuk memperbaiki status gizi dan memenuhi kebutuhan gizi sesuai dengan usia mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan praktik pemberian PMT dan hubungannya dengan kejadian stunting pada anak usia 6-23 bulan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Maros Baru, Kabupaten Maros. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan metode multiple random sampling terhadap 171 balita. Pengukuran tinggi badan anak dilakukan menggunakan Length Board. Kuesioner digunakan untuk mengukur pengetahuan ibu, ketepatan pemberian PMT, dan kecukupan komponen PMT siap saji. Uji validitas kuesioner dilakukan pada 30 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar ibu (91%) memiliki pengetahuan yang cukup tentang PMT, namun 95% ibu memberikan PMT dengan tidak tepat. Selain itu, 77% ibu memberikan komponen PMT siap saji dengan benar. Kesimpulannya, meskipun sebagian besar ibu memiliki pengetahuan yang cukup tentang PMT, ketepatan pemberian PMT masih tergolong tidak akurat, meskipun mayoritas ibu memberikan komponen PMT siap saji dengan benar.
