Exclusive breastfeeding is breast milk that is given to babies from birth for 6 months, without adding/replacing other intakes (except drugs, vitamins, minerals). Exclusive breastfeeding coverage at the Guntung Manggis Health Center in the last 3 years was 42.56% (2019), 62.88% (2020) and 35.29% (2021). There was a decrease of 27.59% in 2021. In addition, this figure has not reached the target at the Guntung Manggis Health Center, which is 65%. Objectives: To determine the relationship between mother's work, family support and health workers with exclusive breastfeeding for infants 6-12 months.
