Subject
infant care, infant, baby care, traditional medicine practitioners;
Description
Background: Data on infant mortality in Banyuwangi shows an
increase in the last five years; data on infant breastfeeding has
not been achieved either; while Indonesia's history of the
Blambangan people, Banyuwangi, is recorded as healthy,
strong, and thick with culture, known to be skilled in care,
including baby care. Research is needed to find out the culture
of infant care in the Blambanga ethnic community so that a
good infant care culture can be strengthened to improve health.
Methods: The research used an ethnographic research design,
with a sample size of 39 people; data were collected through
FGDs, in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and
documentation and analysed thematically using ethnographic
and Colaizzi analysis. Several online applications were used in
data processing and diagramming the results, and ethical
principles were applied.
Results: The themes identified in the culture of infant care in
the Blambangan community are cutting the umbilical cord,
infant massage, the role of baby shamans, the use of plants as
therapy, celebrations for babies, swaddling babies, feeding
babies under six months, beliefs related to infant care, and
environmental modifications when having children. Some
cultures need to be reinforced.
Conclusion: The culture of good breastfeeding in the Osing
Banyuwangi community, recorded in Indonesian history, must
be reconstructed. The culture of good infant care needs to be
reinforced to achieve better health, and this research needs to
be developed to reconstruct the culture of infant care in the
Osing Banyuwangi community
