The results of the study obtained the proportion of exclusive breastfeeding as much as 34%. Factors related to breastfeeding are birth attendants and caregiver / family support and the most dominant in exclusive breastfeeding for working mothers is the support of caregivers / family. The scope of exclusive breastfeeding has not reached the target of 80% of the targets set by the Government due to lack of support from Government Agencies, health workers and from caregivers / families. Various efforts are needed to improve the achievement of coverage of exclusive breastfeeding, especially through supporting facilities to support exclusive breastfeeding and the optimization of the role of the Health Office. ]]>
