- Abstract
Husband’s support for breastfeeding affected the wife’s success in breastfeeding. This study used a mixed- method approach and applied the Partner Breastfeeding Influence Scale (PBIS) theory. PBIS involves five dimensions, including breastfeeding savvy, helping, appreciation, breastfeeding presence, and responsiveness. This study aims to determine the description of wife perceptions of husband’s support for exclusive breastfeeding in Tanjungpandan, Belitung. The subject in this study is three mothers who gave birth for the first time and who recently had one child aged 0 to 24 months. This study started from September 2020 to December 2020, which was done step by step from the preliminary study by spreading PBIS questionnaires to 40 respondents, and continued with face-to-face interviews with the subjects. The data obtained is the result of the analysis from the subject’s interview. This study found that the three subjects perceived that their husbands agreed and provided them emotional and physical support (helping) for breastfeeding their babies.
