Abstrak
Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the important indicators in improving the health of babies, but its coverage in the community is still not optimal, especially in the working area of the Kumbewaha Health Center. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge, maternal attitudes, and family support with exclusive breastfeeding. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive design of correlation through a cross sectional approach. The population in this study is all mothers who have babies aged 7–12 months in the working area of the Kumbewaha Health Center. The number of samples was determined using the Slovin formula with an error rate of 5%, so that a sample of 108 respondents was obtained. The data collection technique was carried out using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out bivariate using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.014), there was a significant relationship between maternal attitudes and exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.015), and there was a significant relationship between family support and exclusive breastfeeding (p = 0.021). These results show that mothers who have good knowledge and attitudes and receive family support tend to be more successful in giving exclusive breastfeeding to their babies. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that maternal knowledge, maternal attitudes, and family support have a meaningful relationship with exclusive breastfeeding
