<![CDATA[The golden period starts when the baby is in the womb and is two years old. In this period the brain experiences the fastest development in the history of life, namely up to 80%. Breast milk is the best food at the beginning of life. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage has not been achieved. Several things are the causes, namely: the length of time it takes for breast milk to come out the first time they breastfeed, the perception of the family/community that the reason babies cry after being breastfed is because there is not enough breast milk. Hence, they need to be given formula milk. Objective: This study aims to identify the influence of family-based education on exclusive breastfeeding. Method: The research design used a quasi-experiment, pre-test, and post-test with control group design. Starting with conducting a pre-test on both groups of respondents, then in the intervention group family-based education was carried out (involving the husband/1 other family member) about exclusive breastfeeding in 3 meetings. The third stage carried out a post-test on both groups. The number of respondents was 30 people in each group of 15 breastfeeding mothers. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test. Results: research shows that there is a significant influence between family-based education on exclusive breastfeeding (p-value = 0.028). Naturally, healthy newborn babies can breastfeed, the more often they breastfeed, the more breast milk production will increase so that exclusive breastfeeding is very possible, the knowledge and attitudes of mothers and families need to be improved. It is recommended to implement family-based education to increase the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding.
