ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Promotion of exclusive breastfeeding is one of the important efforts to increase breastfeeding practices. However, the extent to which the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding affects the interest of pregnant women in providing exclusive breastfeeding still needs to be further examined. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of studies examining the impact of exclusive breastfeeding promotion on increasing the interest of pregnant women in providing exclusive breastfeeding.
Materials & Methods: Literature searches were conducted on electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Articles that meet the inclusion criteria will be analyzed narratively.
Results: The results of the systematic review show that comprehensive promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, including antenatal education, counseling, and postpartum support, significantly increases the interest and practice of pregnant women in providing exclusive breastfeeding. Factors such as the involvement of health workers, families, and the social environment also contribute to increasing maternal interest.
Conclusions: Promotion of exclusive breastfeeding that is carried out comprehensively and integrated into the health care system has been proven effective in increasing the interest of pregnant women to provide exclusive breastfeeding. These interventions need to consider the local cultural, economic, and health system contexts.
