Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is breastfeeding without supplementary food until the baby is six months old. Since pregnancy, the fetus receives nutrition from mother through placenta. Cultural and behavioral factors are factors underlying the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding. This study used cross sectional design with 83 respondents who were breastfeeding with bivariate test by chi square and multivariate using logistic regression test. The results showed that there was relationship between the factors of cultural values, beliefs, knowledge and attitudes with α <0.005, while tradition and education did not show any relationship with exclusive breastfeeding and the most influential factor was knowledge. It is recommended to increase the promotion and campaign of exclusive breastfeeding through cross-sectoral and conduct exclusive breastfeeding counseling to posyandu.
