Abstract:
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) means giving only breast milk to babies 0-6 month without giving any drinks or food, except medicines and vitamins. Only 44% of babies received EBF worldwide in 2020. Meanwhile, in 2025, the target for achieving EBF is 50%. The research aim is to analyze the determinant of the success of EBF for the first-time mother. Database search via Google Scholar, Pubmed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, and Pro Quest for articles published since 2020-2022. Search keywords influencing factors, determinants, exclusive breastfeeding, first-time mothers. We found 19 articles but only 6 articles were suitable with the inclusion critrria. From the researches findings that the importance factors influence EBF practice are self-efficacy, social support, culture, relationships between parents, happiness in breastfeeding, and social environment. It is recommended that tracing activities be part of increasing the success of EBF practices for first-time mothers.
