Background: Exclusive breastfeeding is the process of giving breast milk to babies without any additional food from birth until they are six months old.

From this study it is also known that 55.3% of mothers' knowledge level about exclusive breastfeeding is in the sufficient category, 52.3% of health workers have a good role and as many as 54.5% of husbands play a good role in exclusive breastfeeding.
Conclusions: The results obtained based on statistical tests using chi square were there is association of early initiation of breastfeeding (p=0.018), knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding (p=0.045), the role of health workers (p=0.030), and the role of husband on the exclusive breastfeeding for children in North Minahasa regency.
