This research is analytic with cross sectional design, using the primary data and secondary data. The sampling using the probability sampling, with the simple random sampling technique. The sample used as much as 45 persons of breastfeeding mothers than 50 population. The data was presented in the form of the frequency tabulation and cross tabulation, and then was analyzed with the test of the chi-square and the fisher exact with α = 0,05.
