Abstract
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for the first 6 months of a child's life. However, in reality there are still many children who do not get their rights to exclusive breastfeeding. It can be caused by the lack of knowledge of mothers about breastfeeding. Another cause is the lack of breastfeeding support received by mothers from the environment. This study aims to determine the effect of Breastfeeding Support Groups on mothers' breastfeeding knowledge. A pre-experimental design with one-group pretest-posttest was the design used in this study. Determination of the sample by purposive sampling method as many as 34 participants. Data was collected using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used marginal homogeneity test. The research results showed that Breastfeeding Support Groups were effective in increasing subjects' knowledge. The Proportion of participants with good knowledge increased from 32.4% to 58.8%, whereas poor knowledge decreased from 14.7% to 0% (p-value = 0.001). Breastfeeding Support Group can be recommended as an intervention strategy to increase mother’s breastfeeding knowledge.
