Exclusive breastfeeding for newborns is an effort to prevent infectious diseases, malnutrition and death in babies and toddlers. The achievement of exclusive breastfeeding is still low, indicating that there are factors preventing mothers from giving exclusive breastfeeding for six months to their babies. The low number of breastfeeding mothers is motivated by the lack of awareness among mothers regarding the importance of breast milk for the growth and development of their children. This study aims to determine the characteristics of mothers who do not provide exclusive breastfeeding at the Bajeng Community Health Center, Gowa Regency. The method used in this research is a descriptive design which is a type of analytical and observational research design with a total sample of 30 people selected using total sampling techniques. The results of the research showed that of the 30 respondents, 24 respondents were able to provide exclusive breastfeeding with the age of 20-35 years and the highest number of domestic workers were 18 respondents or (100%), while in terms of family support the highest number of respondents were able to provide exclusive breastfeeding were 12 respondents or (66.7%). In terms of education, the highest number of mothers who were able to provide exclusive breastfeeding were high school/vocational school education with 17 respondents or (56.7%) and the highest number of mothers who were able to provide exclusive breastfeeding were primigravida mothers with 8 respondents.

Background: WHO and UNICEF recommend that newborns receive exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months in early life until the age of two years. The low level of exclusive breastfeeding in the community is caused by various challenges such as the assumption that the supply of breast milk is insufficient and the lack of knowledge about natural methods to increase breast milk production. Community service is carried out in RW II, Siwalankerto, Surabaya. Method: Using a natural approach, educational workshops and direct training in preparing soy milk, aimed at mothers, pregnant women, and posyandu cadres. This program focuses on the use of soy-based products, especially "SAKESI" (Soy Milk), as a natural method to increase lactation. Pre- and post-intervention surveys were conducted to assess changes in knowledge and behavior regarding exclusive breastfeeding and the use of soy products. The study findings showed significant improvements in both knowledge and practical application of these methods, indicating the effectiveness of the program in promoting breastfeeding practices. Conclusion: The project highlights the potential of an affordable local resource such as soybeans to address public health challenges related to maternal and child nutrition and also the importance of ongoing community education and support to sustain these improvements.

Colostrum is a component of breast milk in the form of a golden yellow liquid secreted by the mother from the first to the third day after giving birth. Colostrum contains 10-17 times more immune substances than mature milk, so it is very important to help form antibodies in newborn babies (Mardalena, 2017). According to WHO, the production and quality of breast milk is not affected by the nutritional condition of the mother unless the mother experiences extreme malnutrition. This could be a reason to support mothers to continue breastfeeding their newborn babies in emergency situations. (RI Ministry of Health, 2018) stated this information. WHO and UNICEF support exclusive breastfeeding through early initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, exclusive breastfeeding without giving any food or drink including water, feeding according to the newborn's desire both in the morning and evening, and avoiding the use of bottles, pacifiers , and teas (Ministry of Health, 2018).
