Abstract

Breast milk is an important source of nutrients for child growth and development. The data of BPS 201, achievement of breastfeeding in urban areas of Indonesia (81.72 percent) is more critical than rural areas (73.82 percent). This is exacerbated by the infant mortality rate (IMR) in urban areas which is higher than in rural areas. Therefore, in this study, we examine the variables that affect breastfeeding in Indonesian urban areas using the 2017 IDHS data using the binary logistic regression method. The variables studied included mother's education, mother's working status, birth attendant, place of delivery, early initiation of breastfeeding, pregnancy visits, and household economic status. The data showed that 94.7 percent of mothers gave breast milk and 5.3 percent of mothers did not breastfeed their children. The result showed that several variables that had a significant effect on breastfeeding for children under two years of age were the mother’s working status, pregnancy visits, and early initiation of breastfeeding. Mothers tend to breastfeed is the mother who does not work, carry out the IMD and women who undergo pregnancy visit of more than equal to four times.
