Abstract

Introduction:  Exclusive breastfeeding is a critical intervention for reducing child morbidity and mortality, with undernutrition implicated in approximately 2.7 million child deaths each year, accounting for 45% of all fatalities among children. Enhancing infant and young child feeding practices is crucial for improving child survival rates and fostering healthy growth and development. Fathers’ role in assisting mothers to successfully breastfeed exclusively for six months. Aims: The study investigates the effectiveness of father education in enhancing fathers' support for exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: This quantitative study was conducted at three primary clinics in Bekasi City. The research employs a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest format. The intervention involves educating 35 married men with infants aged 0-5 months using the breastfeeding-supporting father module. Data analysis includes tests for normality, homogeneity, and paired sample t-tests. Result: This research shows significant improvements in fathers' roles post-intervention, with average role scores increasing from 4.80 to 12.09. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of fathers' involvement in breastfeeding and suggests that educational interventions can effectively enhance this role, thereby contributing to improved breastfeeding outcomes and addressing issues such as infant malnutrition and developmental disorders.
