Abstract

  Exclusive breastfeeding is an important strategy for meeting infants’ nutritional needs and reducing the risk of health problems and stunting; however, its practice remains suboptimal in the community. Low rates of exclusive breastfeeding are influenced by limited maternal knowledge, belief in myths, and exposure to misinformation. This activity aimed to identify the reasons why mothers do not practice exclusive breastfeeding and to improve their understanding of the importance of exclusive breastfeeding through focus group discussions (FGDs) using a pocket book as an educational medium. The activity was conducted in RW 4 Parangloe, Tamalanrea District, Makassar City, involving 18 breastfeeding mothers, and applied a pre-test and post-test design to assess changes in knowledge. The results showed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score, from 55.56 in the pre-test to 91.67 in the post-test, with the Wilcoxon test indicating a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). It can be concluded that education through FGDs supported by a pocket book is effective in improving breastfeeding mothers’ knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and may serve as an educational strategy to support the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding practices in the community.
