This study design uses a cross-sectional analytic type. The population of this study were all mothers who had babies aged 6-24 months totaling 130 people. The research sample used was 56 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using the chi square test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding with the incidence of wasting 6-24 months with a p-value of 0.045 (p <0.05) and there was a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of wasting 6-24 months with a p-value of 0.041 (p <0.05). There is a relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of wasting at 6-24 months in the Working Area of ??the Langsa City Health Center UPTD.
