the effect of oral physiotherapy on suction reflex on the low-weight born babies in
the perinatology hospitalization room of RSD dr Soebandi. The population of the

suction reflex was 73,3% strong. The effectiveness of oral physiotherapy on
suction reflex on the babies of low-weight born through two-related sample test
(α≤0,05) indicated the p value=0,000. it can be concluded that there is
a significant effect of oral physiotherapy on the suction reflex of low-weight born
