“…The Z value obtained at the skill level is -4.478 with a p-value of 0.00, which is less than the research critical limit of 0.05, so the hypothesis decision is to accept H1, which means that there is a significant difference between the skill level in the group without cards and group with cards where the group with cards shows a better skill level than the group without cards. Thus, it can be concluded that counseling using cards significantly improves breastfeeding mothers' skills [19,27].…”

Purpose: This research aims to analyze the effect of breastfeeding counseling cards on the knowledge and breastfeeding skills level in mothers of babies 0-6 months. Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental design with two treatment groups. The research sample of 30 respondents was calculated with the help of G-Power Analysis 3.1 based on a 2-group t-test with an alpha error of .05, power of study 0.80, and large effect size (0.9). Results: The average age of breastfeeding mothers is 26.7 years, with the majority education level being senior high school (SMA) at 63.3% and the number of children at one level being 53.3%. Counseling with cards had a significant effect on the level of knowledge of breastfeeding mothers (p < 0.000). Counseling also significantly affects changes in skills (p < 0.000). The intensity of counseling is also a factor that influences the improvement of the mother's skills, so the more frequent contact between the mother and the counselor, the more often the mother will receive information, indirectly improving the mother's skills. Conclusion: The results of this study can be used as a reference for further research related to breastfeeding counseling and exclusive breastfeeding. The results of this research can be developed with other media, both print and electronic media, by taking advantage of advances in technology and society that continue to develop to increase the knowledge and skills of breastfeeding mothers and achieve exclusive breastfeeding.

“…[6] A survey in India, found satisfactory proportion of community health workers having knowledge of timing of initiation (97.9%), benefits of colostrum (95.9%), duration of exclusive breastfeeding (99%), and duration of complementary feeding (83.7%). [5] Common areas where high proportion had poor knowledge were frequency of breastfeeding (67.5%) and composition of complementary food (94.4%). Similar study among 220 health workers in Tanzania, found 76.4% having inadequate knowledge of breastfeeding.…”
