The sampling method in the research was proportional random sampling. This research was carried out from April 22 to June 1, 2024. Data was collected and retrieved using questionnaires and observations. Results: Results of statistical test analysis using the Chi-Square statistical test and logistic regression where the results show that there is a significant relationship (p value < 0.05) for the variables age (p value 0.009), occupation (p value 0.002), education (p value 0.019), income (p value 0.002), knowledge (p value 0.026), IMD (p value 0.030), family support (p value 0.000), parity (p value 0.021) and support from health workers (p value 0.013). From the results of multivariate statistical tests, it was found that the dominant factor in exclusive breastfeeding was family support (p= 0.004; OR= 10.020).
