Abstract

Abstract Infant mortality rate (IMR) BogorIn 2018 was 5.44 per 1000 live births, an increase compared to 2017 of 3.6 per 1000 live births.life birth which means there was no decrease. Umbilical cord infection has become the cause of pain and death among infants. Indonesia Health Profile 2018 stated that there were 40 babies affected by neonatal tetanus of which 4 babies died.

There was an influence of the Colostrum methods on the time of umbilical cord release.
