<![CDATA[Exclusive breastfeeding is very important for babies. However, despite its many benefits, not all mothers exclusively breastfeed their babies. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between physical, psychological, social, and spiritual barriers in practicing exclusive breastfeeding. This study was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at the RBC Clinic with a sample of 50 respondents. The sampling technique used incidental sampling. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out using the chi square test. The results showed that mothers who did not exclusively breastfeed experienced physical barriers as much as 78.9% (p-value <0.001), psychological barriers and social barriers 68.4% (p-value <0.001), and spiritual barriers 42.1% (p-value = 0.016). On average, mothers who did not exclusively breastfeed experienced physical barriers. The conclusion of this study shows a significant relationship between physical, psychological, social, and spiritual barriers in carrying out exclusive breastfeeding practices. In responding to physical, psychological, social, and spiritual barriers, it must be done wisely and comprehensively so that solutions can be found from each aspect and resolved holistically.]]>
