Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals low exclusive breastfeeding linked to maternal age extremes and absent postnatal education in rural mothers, highlighting the need for targeted lactation support.

Key Points

  • To identify maternal, infant, nutritional, and health-service determinants associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice among mothers of infants aged 0–6 months in rural Indonesia.
  • Conducted a community-based cross-sectional study from November to December 2024 among 193 randomly sampled mothers of infants aged 0–6 months in Curio District, Enrekang Regency, Indonesia.
  • Gathered data via structured questionnaires and maternal and child health records, analyzing determinants using bivariate tests and multivariable logistic regression.
  • Exclusive breastfeeding was practiced by only 12.4% (n = 24/193) of participating mothers.
  • Lack of postnatal breastfeeding education was the strongest independent predictor of non-exclusive breastfeeding (adjusted OR 20.24; 95% CI 6.19–66.13; p < 0.001).
  • Maternal age < 20 or > 35 years was significantly associated with higher odds of non-exclusive breastfeeding (adjusted OR 6.08; 95% CI 1.07–34.39; p = 0.041), whereas parity and dietary diversity lost significance after adjustment.
