Abstract

Breastfeeding plays an important role in a baby’s life and is especially important for babies with a low birthweight (LBW), which is the highest cause of death in neonates. In 2012, the number of adolescent mothers with a higher risk of delivering LBW babies increased as reported by BKKBN. This study aimed to identify factors affecting adolescent mothers’ breastfeeding behaviors in Sidotopo, Surabaya, Indonesia through an observational, descriptive, and qualitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Seven subjects were selected through a purposive sampling method and interviewed in-depth regarding social support and action situations they faced during breastfeeding. The results showed that social support tended to be positive but low; this led the mothers to give up on breastfeeding when they encountered obstacles that were relatively hard for them to overcome, even though the action situations would have been surmountable if the mothers had received adequate information and been highly motivated to breastfeed. In conclusion, social support from the people closest to adolescent mothers is needed to help them overcome difficult action situations related to breastfeeding.
