What is it about?
This study delves into why some infants are fed with bottles and nipples, despite concerns about contamination. It's like a detective story, trying to understand why this happens. We discovered that factors like a mother's education, work, wealth, where she lives, the type of delivery, the baby's gender, and age play a role.

Why is it important?
What makes this study unique and timely is its focus on understanding the prevalence of bottle feeding among infants in Indonesia and the factors influencing this practice. It provides crucial insights into a common yet potentially problematic feeding method. The findings shed light on how factors such as a mother's education, employment, and urban living influence the choice of bottle feeding.
Perspectives
As an individual, I believe that addressing these factors and promoting healthier feeding practices for infants is not only a public health priority but also a step towards ensuring a brighter and healthier future for Indonesia's children. This research contributes significantly to that endeavor.
