The Implementation of Breastfeeding Counseling on Expectant Mother in Tangerang 2018

The practice on exclusive breastfeeding for the early birth baby has become a crucial moment which will
determine the success of further exclusive breastfeeding. There are some barriers during the old breastfeeding.
According to Riskedas (2010) exclusive breastfeeding is ‘the practice of breastfeeding since the delivery of a
baby without feeding on other food and drinks during the first 24 hours of life (only breastfeeding, excluding
the other food and beverages). Based on Nutritional Status in 2017 by Public Health Director General,
Indonesian Ministry of Health 2018 the number of babies that achieve breastfeeding during the first five
months is about 46.74%, while the number of babies that complete breastfeeding during the first six months
decreases to 35.73%. Those numbers have fallen behind the name that targeted by WHO (90%). The benefits
of breastfeeding itself have been discussed by many sources and literature. One of the barriers of exclusive
breastfeeding is the lack of information about the importance of the practice on exclusive breastfeeding. The
availability of a breastfeeding counselor at the healthcare facility also affects the success rate of breastfeeding.
