    Exclusive Breastfeeding Practices Among Women in Kei Besar Island: A
    Descriptive Study

    ABSTRACT

    Background: As part of stunting reduction acceleration strategies, the Indonesian


    government aims to achieve an 80% exclusive breastfeeding rate for infants under 6
    months by the year 2024 (1). However, as of the first quarter of 2023, only seven
    provinces had reached the 75% target for that period, and Maluku, one of the top 10
    provinces with the highest stunting prevalence, had not achieved it (2,3).
    Objectives: This study aims to delineate the profiles of women engaged in exclusive
    breastfeeding and those who do not, within the context of Kei Besar Island.
    Methods: This descriptive study employed a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire
    was administered to 23 pregnant women and 8 breastfeeding mothers of infants aged
    0-5.9 months to assess demographic characteristics, breastfeeding practices, and
    knowledge. Findings are presented using descriptive statistics.
    Results: Among pregnant women, 52% lacked knowledge of early breastfeeding
    initiation. 95.7% received antenatal care from midwives, with 39.1% attending four or
    more times. Notably, 60.9% reported exclusively breastfeeding their previous child.
    Among breastfeeding mothers, 75% reported exclusive breastfeeding, but 50%
    provided incorrect definitions of breastfeeding and admitted to formula milk use within
    the past day. Additionally, misconceptions included beliefs that thinner women produce
    less breast milk and that formula milk's nutritional content resembles that of breast milk.
    Conclusions: Addressing knowledge gaps and misconceptions through health
    education on exclusive breastfeeding is essential. Midwives have the potential to serve
    as effective agents in promoting exclusive breastfeeding during ANC appointments for
    Kei Besar mothers.
