The aim of this research is to find out the determinant factors of exclusive breastfeeding for infants aged 0-6 months in Indonesia. The factors analyzed were the residence, education, the age at which the mother gave birth for the first time, migration, participation in the Family Planning and Birth Control (Keluarga Berencana) Program, as well as the infant’s weight at birth. The method: quantitative approach with a cross-sectional approach which used secondary data from The National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) Kor 2020. The number of respondents was 2,175,672 breastfeeding mothers with data collection accomplished by interviews using a structured questionnaire. The data analysis was performed using a descriptive analysis through cross-tabulation and inferential analysis using binary logistic regression. The results shows that there are 63,7% or mother exclusively breasted their babies. The characteristics of breastfeeding mothers were lived in urban areas, low educated and married at the ideal age of more than 20 years, have migrated, participated in family planning, and infants were born weighed less than 2,5 kg. The whole independent variables such as the residence, education, the age at which the mother gave birth for the first time, migration, contraceptive use, as well as the infant’s weight at birth determined exclusive breastfeeding both in Indonesia in general and in border area of Indonesia.
