Breast milk fulfills half or more of a child's nutritional needs in the first year to the second year of life.The low level of breastfeeding in Indonesia is due to the lack of knowledge of pregnant women, families and communities about the importance of breastfeeding. This problem is exacerbated by the incessant promotion of formula milk and the lack of support from the community. This study aims to determine the factors associated with breastfeeding in Bonto Biraeng hamlet, Bonto Matene village, Marusu district, Maros Regency based on the variables of family support (husband), support from health workers and mother's motivation.
