Abstract
Proper breastfeeding techniques are important to maintain ade-quate breast milk supply. The study aimed to determine the brea-stfeeding techniques of mothers in rural areas and discover the correlation with the nutritional status of their infants. This research involved 107 mothers with infants aged 0-6 months and data was collected using observation sheets. The Spearman-Rho test was used to analyze the relationship between the breastfeeding technique and the nutritional status of the infants. Most respondents were mothers aged 26 to 35 with high school-level education and daily lives as housewives. Most of the infants were 3 months old (27.1%), female (57.9%), and some of them were macrocephaly (31.8%), underweight (26.2%), stunted (16.9%), and wasted (12.3%). Additionally, most mothers had an inappropriate brea-stfeeding technique (60.7%) and statistically, there was no correlation with the nutritional status of their infants aged 0-6 months (ϱ>0.05). The results of this study require health workers to opti-mize the nutritional needs of infants in rural areas by providing effective educational strategies on proper breastfeeding techniques, regardless of other factors influencing nutritional status.
