Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is crucial for infant growth and immunity. This study aims to analyze the inhibiting and promoting factors of exclusive breastfeeding among breastfeeding mothers in the Bongo Nol Community Health Center (Puskesmas Bongo Nol), Boalemo Regency. The study used a descriptive-analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach to 24 breastfeeding mothers, selected using total sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and direct interviews, then analyzed descriptively and analytically using the Chi-square test. The results showed that 58.3 % of mothers exclusively breastfed. Significant inhibiting factors included the perception of insufficient breast milk (p = 0.003) and cultural/mythical influences (p = 0.008). Significantly influencing promoting factors included maternal knowledge about breastfeeding (p = 0.018) and husband's support (p = 0.004). This study confirms that the success of exclusive breastfeeding is influenced by a complex interaction between individual, social, and cultural factors. Appropriate education, family support, and an approach that takes local conditions into account are key to increasing the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.
