This study has been approved by the Health Research Ethics Committee from Prima Indonesia University. The statistical test used is the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test

Results:The result of the study showed that there was a difference in the mean Rooting – Sucking Reflex on Low Birth Weight for the pre-test of the intervention group and the post-test of the intervention group (P value = <0.001). In the control group, a P value of 0.001 was obtained, which means that there was a difference in the average Rooting – Sucking Reflex on Low Birth Weight infant for the pre-test of the control group and the post-test of the control group (P value = 0.001).
