Exclusive breastfeeding is the presentation of breast milk up to the first 6 months in the baby's life stage by not feeding or drinking other foods or drinks except ORS, vit, or drugs. The function of breast milk is to fulfill the nutrition of the baby, increase the body's defense power and reduce morbidity and death. The success of breastfeeding mothers to continue breastfeeding their babies is largely determined by the support of their husbands, families, health workers, communities and the work environment.
