There are many reasons why mothers did not give exclusive breastfeeding to their babies, the main causes are lack of awareness of the importance of breastfeeding, lack of self-confidence of mothers, the low of mother’s knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding and lack of family support in breastfeeding. This study aims to analyze the factors of mother's knowledge, education, and husband's support that affect the low level of exclusive breastfeeding in Pandansari Village, Senduro District, Lumajang Regency in 2022. This study is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study were 27 mothers who had babies aged 6-11 months who were taken by total sampling.
