Tri Utami Sari, S.SiT using a quantitative research approach. Method: A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 51 breastfeeding mothers at PMB Bdn. Tri Utami Sari, S.SiT. Data were collected through questionnaires to identify information sources and maternal attitudes, analyzed using the Spearman Rho test. Result: The majority of mothers (82.4%) exhibited a positive attitude toward exclusive breastfeeding, with the primary information source being healthcare providers (23.5%). Statistical analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.388) that was statistically significant (p = 0.005) between information sources and maternal attitudes.
