Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the successful indicators in improving the health of babies. From 2013 until 2014, the practice of exclusive breastfeeding has decreased in Indonesia and has not reached the national targets of around 80% of babies being exclusively breastfed. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and determinants of exclusive breastfeeding in Seberang Ulu I, Palembang. A community-based cross sectional study was executed from July 5, 2016 to August 5, 2016 among mothers who had infants aged less than six months. A purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 125 participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire by the face-to-face interview technique. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to determine factors associated with the practice of breastfeeding exclusively and to control confounding effects. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 26.4% (95% CI: 20.0%-35.1%). After adjusting for confounders (mothers’ attitudes and health workers’ support), mothers who had good knowledge were 11.66 times more likely to breastfeed exclusively than those who had poor knowledge (AOR: 11.66, 95% CI: 3.07-44.31). The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in Seberang Ulu I, Palembang, was still very low and has not reached the national target. The recommendation is to maximize the role of health workers in providing information about exclusive breastfeeding, so that they can continue providing motivation for mothers, husbands and families, so that the success and sustainability of exclusive breastfeeding practices could be achieved.   Keywords: Mother’s knowledge, mother’s attitude, health workers support, exclusive breastfeeding

INTRODUCTION: Practice of exclusive breast feeding has dramatically reduced infant mortality in developing countries due to reduction in diarrhea and infectious diseases. We conducted a study to assess the feeding practices among mothers with children less than 12 months of age attending the immunization clinic of UCMS hospital, Nepal. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out in the immunization clinic of Pediatric ward of UCMS, Nepal for a period of four months. Mothers of child of 0-12 months were included in the study. Sample size was 372 which was based on the number of mothers visited Pediatric ward for immunization of their child of age group 0-12 months during the duration of the study. Mothers were interviewed by using a pre-validated structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version-20 software and presented by descriptive statistics as frequency and percentages. RESULTS: Most of the children were above six months, 56.5% were of 7-12 months of age group. Exclusive breastfeeding was done in 48.4% children for first six months. Maximum population preferred hospital as their mode of delivery. 93.5% mothers opted for hospital as their place of delivery. 23.4% mothers were illiterate. Night feeding was practiced by 96.2% mothers. CONCLUSION: Breast feeding awareness must be spread among mothers by workshops and health education programs.
