The Role of The Family in Increasing Exclusive Breastfeeding
Abstract
According to the United National Children's Found (UNICEF) there are 123 countries which show that worldwide most babies have been breastfed in their lifetime, with 95% coverage of babies having received breast milk, but this figure varies quite a bit between low-, middle- and middle-income countries. high-income countries. According to data from the Performance Report of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2021, in Indonesia, 69.7 percent of infants aged less than 6 months were exclusively breastfed. While in East Kalimantan Province in 2021 as many as 66.8 percent of infants aged less than 6 months who received exclusive breastfeeding, this figure puts East Kalimantan Province still below the national figure (Performance Report of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2021). According to data from the Performance Report of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2021, in Indonesia, 69.7 percent of infants aged less than 6 months were exclusively breastfed. While in East Kalimantan Province in 2021 as many as 66.8 percent of infants aged less than 6 months who received exclusive breastfeeding, this figure puts East Kalimantan Province still below the national figure (Performance Report of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2021). This type of research uses a Literature review, which contains a description of the theory, findings and other research materials obtained from reference materials to be used as the basis for research activities (Siregar, 2019). Article search is sourced from Google Scholar. The articles used by the researchers are journals published in the last 5 years, namely 2017 to 2022, and 5 articles were obtained for review. The results of the analysis of the five articles showed that there was a relationship between family support and the success of exclusive breastfeeding. With the results that have been discussed regarding the relationship between the role of the family and the success of exclusive breastfeeding, it can be concluded that all studies state that there is a relationship between the role of the family and exclusive breastfeeding. But there are still many mothers who have not given exclusive breastfeeding, due to several factors such as age, education, and occupation. The role of the family is very much needed by the mother in caring for the baby, because it can affect the attitude and behavior of the mother when breastfeeding
