This article aims to explore the impact of single-parenting styles on children's independence development in the modern era. The increasing number of families headed by single parents provides a crucial backdrop for understanding parenting dynamics and their effects on children.

A supportive social and economic context also plays a crucial role in facilitating the positive development of children in single-parent families.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects children's growth and development. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months has been identified as a key intervention to prevent stunting. However, the practice of exclusive breastfeeding remains suboptimal, including in Ambon City. This study aimed to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of stunted toddlers in Batu Merah Village, Ambon City, in 2024. The study used a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach and total sampling involving 22 stunted toddlers. Data were collected through interviews and height-for-age measurements, and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of stunted toddlers (p = 0.017). Toddlers who were not exclusively breastfed had a higher risk of severe stunting. Therefore, promotion and education on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding should be strengthened, particularly in areas with high stunting prevalence.

Eka Safitri Yanti — 2025-05-31

This systematic literature review explores the sociocultural factors influencing Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIBF) and identifies effective culturally based interventions. Using PRISMA guidelines, ten studies published between 2015–2025 were analyzed thematically. Four key themes emerged: cultural beliefs significantly shape breastfeeding behaviors; weak health systems and limited staff training hinder EIBF; family and workplace support empower mothers; and culturally sensitive, community-based education improves outcomes. The findings highlight the need for cross-sectoral, culturally adaptive strategies to improve EIBF coverage in developing countries.
