Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in the growth and development of infants. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, followed by complementary foods (MPASI).

This study aims to analyze the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the growth and development of infants aged 7-12 months.This study uses a quantitative research type using Retrospective research. The design of this study was carried out with a cross-sectional approach, the sample in the study was 62 people using the Random Sampling System. The data collected in the study were primary data, namely data obtained directly from respondents. The data analysis used was Chi Square. Exclusive breastfeeding in infants aged 7-12 months is mostly given exclusive breastfeeding (56.6%), growth in infants aged 7-12 months is mostly fat (37.1%), development in infants aged 7-12 months is mostly normal (54.8%), there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and growth in infants aged 7-12 months with a p-value of 0.000, there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and development in infants aged 7-12 months with a p-value of 0.000. So Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted which means there is a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and development in infants aged 7-12 months. For further researchers, it is expected to be able to conduct further research by developing other variables in order to get better results.

Breastfeeding (ASI) and complementary feeding (MP-ASI) are determinants of a baby's growth and development starting from the period 0 days or the day after birth until the age of 2 years. Providing nutritional intake that is less than required can cause long-term growth and development in children, which is permanent and difficult to repair. This study aims to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and MP-ASI with the growth and development of babies aged 6–12 months in the Harapan Baru Community Health Center Working Area, Samarinda City.

The data analysis technique uses the Spearman correlation non-parametric statistical test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between giving exclusive breastfeeding and the growth of babies aged 6-12 months (p=0.00), there was a relationship between giving breast milk and the development of babies aged 6-12 months (p=0.021), there was a relationship between giving MP-ASI and growth babies 6-12 months (p=0.022), and there is a relationship between giving MP-ASI and the development of babies 6-12 months (p=0.042). Increasing the provision of appropriate breast milk and MP-ASI is very important to achieve optimal growth and development of babies.  

The primary causes of mortality among infants are diarrhea and pneumonia. But, more than 50% of the cases were caused by malnutrition. Exclusive breastfeeding (6 months to 2 years) and providing complementary nutritious food have proven to be effective interventions in reducing the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR).

The results showed that of 60 respondents, most of them provided non-exclusive breastfeeding for 34 respondents (56,7%), early adulthood for 32 respondents (53,3%), middle-class education level for 24 respondents (40%), self-employed for 33 respondents (55%), had sufficient knowledge of breastfeeding as 24 respondents (40%), and did not have a supportive workplace in giving exclusive breastfeeding as 34 respondents (56,7%). In conclusion, there is a correlation between age, education level, work status, knowledge, and environment towards exclusive breastfeeding.
