Populasi dalam penelitian ini seluruh ibu postpartum yang bersalin di klinik dan yang di rujuk ke rumah sakit selama bulan Agustus/September sebanyak 40 orang, besar sampel 36 orang. Teknik sampel purposive sampling. Analisa data menggunakan univariat dan bivariat chi square.Hasil : Hasil uji chi square diketahui ada hubungan usia kehamilan (p-value 0.015 < 0.05), paritas (p-value 0.003 < 0.05), jenis persalinan (p-value 0.016 < 0.05), berat badan lahir (p-value 0.018 < 0.05), cara penangganan yang dilakukan ibu postpartum (p = 0.009 < 0.05) dengan kejadian ikterus bayi baru lahir.Diharapkan ibu postpartum mengetahui manfaat pemberian ASI sejak dini serta menjaga gizi selama menyusui bayi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ASI pada bayi sehingga menurunkan risiko icterus.Kesimpulan : hubungan Asi Eksklusif, karakteristik ibu (usia kehamilan, paritas, jenis persalinan), karakteristik bayi (berat badan lahir bayi), cara penanggan ibu dengan kejadian ikterus bayi baru lahir.Saran : Diharapkan petugas kesehatan dalam memberikan pelayanan edukasi pada ibu bahwa pentingnya ASI Eksklusif untuk mencegah Ikterus bayi baru lahir Kata Kunci : Bayi Baru Lahir, Karakteristik Ibu, Kejadian Ikterus, Pemberian ASI Dini ABSTRACT Background: Epidemiological data shows that more than 50% of newborns suffer from jaundice in the first week of life.

Purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate chi square.Results: The results of the chi square test showed that there was a relationship between gestational age (p-value 0.015 < 0.05), parity (p-value 0.003 < 0.05), type of delivery (p-value 0.016 < 0.05), birth weight (p-value 0.018 < 0.05), how to handle postpartum mothers (p = 0.009 < 0.05) with the incidence of jaundice Newborn babies.
