Breast milk is the first food given to newborn babies from the age of 0 to 6 months, or often referred to as exclusive breastfeeding which has many enormous benefits (WHO, 2021). According to the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) report, exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia showed an increase from 2019 covering 66.69%, in 2020 covering 69.62 and in 2021 covering 71.58%, while in South Kalimantan Province the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in the last 3 years was 65.97% (2019), 63.55% (2020) and 60.27% (2021). The Basic Health Research 2021, states that only 52.5% or half of the 2.7 million babies who received exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months in Indonesia.
