Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding refers to the practice of feeding infants only breast milk for the first 6 months of life. Several factors, including maternal, infant, and environmental influences, impact exclusive breasfeeding. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between breastfeeding self-efficacy and sociocultural practices with exclusive breastfeeding among children aged 6 to 24 months in the Tengger Tribe. The research employed an analytical observational with case-control study design involving sample size of 57 respondents selected through total sampling. The case group consisted of 29 nonexclusively breastfed mothers, while the control group consisted of 28 exclusively breastfeeding mothers. Data collection included interviews using questionnaires on mother’s characteristics, exclusive breastfeeding history, sociocultural practices, and breastfeeding self-efficacy scale short form (BSES-SF). The study results revealed a higher level of breastfeeding self-efficacy and sociocultural practices during breastfeeding among the control group. Conversely, sociocultural practices during childhood were found to be higher in the case group. The study indicated that sociocultural practices during the first 2 years of life (OR=0.13), and breastfeeding self-efficacy (OR=2.93) were associated with exclusive breastfeeding in children aged 6-24 months. In conclusion, there is a correlation between breastfeeding self-efficacy and sociocultural practices with exclusive breastfeeding among children aged 6 to 24 months in the Tengger Tribe. Mothers who receive less information from family members, engage in sociocultural practices during childhood, and have lower breastfeeding self-efficacy are at a higher risk of not exclusively breastfeeding. Families should provide more support to breastfeeding mothers, and healthcare workers should offer additional education on the risks of early complementary feeding practices for children.
