Air susu ibu (ASI) merupakan nutrisi terbaik bagi bayi karena mengandung nilai gizi yang ideal bagi bayi. Kebutuhan nutrisi bayi yang tidak terpenuhi dapat menimbulkan risiko penyakit kronis, terganggunya perkembangan kognitif anak, dan terhambatnya perkembangan motorik kasar bayi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan seberapa besar pengaruh pemberian ASI eksklusif terhadap perkembangan motorik kasar bayi usia 7–12 bulan di RT 06 RW 04 Bandulan. Metode: Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif, dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Sumber data dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil: Hasil penelitian di lapangan pada kunjungan terakhir, didapati bahwa bayi berusia 10 bulan 1 hari yang telah diberi ASI eksklusif perkembangan motorik kasarnya terjadi sesuai dengan usianya, yaitu mampu mempertahankan leher secara kaku, duduk sendiri selama 60 detik tanpa disanggah bantal, kursi atau dinding, dan belajar berdiri dengan kedua kaki menyanggah sebagian berat badannya. Sementara bayi berusia 9 bulan 28 hari yang tidak diberi ASI eksklusif, perkembangan motorik kasarnya belum sesuai dengan usianya, dimana bayi tersebut hanya mampu mempertahankan leher secara kaku, tetapi belum mampu duduk sendiri selama 60 detik tanpa disanggah bantal, kursi atau dinding dan belajar berdiri dengan kedua kaki menyanggah sebagian berat badannya. Diskusi: Hasil penelitian ini dapat dijadikan motivasi dan sumber rujukan edukasi bagi ibu menyusui agar memberikan air susunya secara eksklusif pada bayi karena ASI eksklusif terbukti berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan motorik kasar bayi. Peneliti selanjutnya diharapkan dapat melakukan penelitian secara menyeluruh mengenai faktor-faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bayi.

Breast milk is the best nutrient for infants because it contains ideal nutritional value for infants. Unmet nutritional needs of infants can pose a risk of chronic diseases, impaired cognitive development of children, and inhibition of the infant’s gross motor development. The study aims to prove how much influence exclusively breastfeeding affects the gross motor development of infants aged 7– 12 months on Neighbourhood (RT) 06 Hamlet (RW) 04 Bandulan. Methods: The research design used was a descriptive method, with a case study approach. The data source was selected by puposive sampling technique. Result: Result of research in the field at the last visit, it is found that 10-month-1-day-old infant who was given breast milk exclusively by her mother in gross motor development occurred according to her age, shown to be able to maintain the neck rigidly, sit alone for 60 seconds without being denied pillows, chairs or walls, and learned to stand with both feet refute some of her weight. While infant is 9-month-28-day-old who was not exclusively breastfed, gross motor development was not yet appropriate for his age, where the infant was only able to maintain his neck rigidly, but had not been able to sit alone for 60 seconds without being denied pillows, chairs or walls and learned to stand with both feet refuting some of his weight. Discussion: The result of the study can be used as motivation and a source of educational reference for breastfeeding mothers to provide breast milk exclusively to the infant because exclusive breast milk is proven to affect the gross motor development of the infant. Researchers are next expected to conduct a thorough study on factors that can affect the growth and development of the infant.
