According to Islam, exclusive breastfeeding means fulfilling the childrenAos right to a healthy life, and it is a mothersAo obligation.
The government issued regulations that guarantee the childrenAos right to exclusive breastfeeding, namely Article 52 paragraph .
of Law Number 39/1999 concerning Human Rights.
Law Number 23/2002 concerning Child Protection, and Government Regulation Number 33/2012 concerning Exclusive Breastfeeding.
However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is still relatively low, influenced by various factors.
This qualitative study explored the various factors in exclusive breastfeeding and analyzed them from an Islamic Law Meanwhile, the informants were mothers with 0-6 months-old babies having exclusive breastfeeding rights.
Data were collected through interviews and triangulation, including Integrated healthcare center (Posyand.
cadres and families.
The results found in this study were that childrenAos rights in obtaining exclusive breastfeeding from their mothers were not fulfilled.
Various reasons were expressed to support their way by not fulfilling the rights, including the mothersAo busyness causing them unable to breastfeed their children exclusively.
It happens because the mothers lack knowledge about childrenAos rights to get exclusive breastfeeding in Islamic law for two years.
Memberikan ASI eksklusif berarti memenuhi hak anak untuk hidup sehat, dalam Islam telah diterangkan bahwa memberikan asi secara eksklusif kepada anak adalah sebuah kewajiban seorang Pemerintah telah mengeluarkan peraturan yang menjamin hak anak untuk mendapatkan ASI yaitu Undang-undang Nomor 39/1999 tentang Hak Asasi Manusia pasal 52 ayat .
dan UndangUndang Nomor 23/2002 Tentang Perlindungan Anak dan didukung dengan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 33/2012 tentang Pemberian ASI Eksklusif.
Namun demikian cakupan pemberian ASI eksklusif di Indonesia masih terbilang rendah dan ini dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali berbagai faktor yang berperan dalam pemberian ASI eksklusif dan menganalisa dari perspektif hukum Islam.

Hasil yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini adalah tidak terpenuhinya hak anak dalam mendapatkan asi eksklusif dari ibu mereka.
Berbagai alasan diungkapkan guna untuk mendukung cara mereka dengan tidak memenuhi hak anak tersebut diantaranya adalah karena kesibukan dari ibu itu sendiri.
Sehingga menyebabkan terjadinya kondisi ibu yang tidak dapat memberikan asi secara eksklusif kepada anaknya.
Hal ini terjadi karena kurangnya pengetahuan ibu tentang hak anak menerima asi eksklusif dalam hukum Islam yaitu selama 2 tahun.

Islamic law Introduction Children are the next generation whose future must be fought for because they are the forerunner to the nationAos sustainability and have a very strategic role in the nationAos The state has a vital role in protecting childrenAos rights.
The Convention on the ChildAos Rights contains the rights, including the right to survival, protection, growth, development, and participation (Candra, 2018, p.
The protection of childrenAos rights is contained in Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights.
Article 52, paragraph .
states that childrenAos rights are human rights, recognized and protected by law even from the time they are in the womb.
Likewise, in Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, the state guarantees the welfare of every citizen, one of which is by providing guarantees for the protection of childrenAos rights (Fitriani, 2016, p.
Islam also emphasizes several essential things in child protection: children have the right to live, grow, and develop.
Islam forbids parents from killing their children under any pretext.
ChildrenAos protection cannot be separated from several parties, namely the family, the environment, and the government.
The three components complement each other to protect childrenAos rights.
This is done so that childrenAos rights are protected and not sidelined.
One of the most important rights of children is the right to breastfeeding.
Parents giving breast milk to their children are already aware of the importance of protecting childrenAos rights.
Breastfeeding for babies for the first 6 months is highly recommended by the Indonesian government.
The Indonesian government has issued a regulation related to exclusive breastfeeding.
It is stated in Law number 36/2009: AuEvery baby has the right ChildrenAos right to get exclusive breastfeeding in the Islamic law perspective (Ani Mardiantari, et.

It is supported by Government Regulation no.

33 of 2012 concerning exclusive breastfeeding [JDIH BPK RI]Ay 2.
Exclusive breastfeeding is given at the age of the first six months by not adding other food and drinks.
It then continues until the age of two years.
Breast milk saves millions of benefits that do not exist in other products, lack of breast milk intake can result in the babyAos nutritional needs not being met.
However, there are some cases where a baby cannot be breastfed.
The baby who cannot get breast milk is explained in the stipulation that the motherAos physical condition who cannot give breast milk is related to health, proven by medical results.
The drinks other than breast milk can be given to the baby if the motherAos medical condition must undergo treatment or the mother has a history of diseases that can be transmitted to the baby (Jauhari.
Fitriani, & Bustami, 2012, p.
Regarding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and the governmentAos efforts to issue regulations governing exclusive breastfeeding, the public should understand this.
But looking at the current situation, especially in the Metro City area, many people still donAot care about this.
Based on the results of a pre-survey conducted at the Cempaka Posyandu.
Banjarasari Metro Utara.
Metro City, the researcher found that several mothers had given additional food and formula milk to their babies.
The reasons were also varied: the mother was working, the breast milk did not come out, or they were concerned about the lack of nutrition if they gave only breast milk.
Posyandu cadres are also aware of this.
They explain the factors that influence the mothers not to give exclusive breastfeeding, including the lack of awareness and knowledge of mothers about the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding and the lack of support from their environments such as husbands, parents, and neighbors.
Many discussions about exclusive breastfeeding have been carried out, including Herning Hambarrukmi et al.
discussing exclusive breastfeeding policy for female workers in Indonesia.
The opinion that breastfeeding is every motherAos right also prevails for working However, in this case, the context of exclusive breastfeeding for six months is not regulated in policies in the field of employment and staffing (Hambarrukmi & Sofiani.

Research on mothersAo legal awareness on the exclusive breastfeeding obligation to infants in Sampang Regency was conducted by Farah Dila et al.
The results revealed the low level of mothersAo understanding of the obligation to give exclusive breastfeeding to This is due to a lack of information about the availability of lactation rooms owned by workplaces/government offices.
The Sampang health office has provided counseling, but due to the unavailability of Special breastfeeding rooms and lack of knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding, low awareness is still there (Dila & Sulistyowati, 2020, p.

It is concluded that in Afar, a herding and remote area in Ethiopia, one in five children suffer from acute Many reasons cause the lack of exclusive breastfeeding, as mothers have a terrible understanding of exclusive breastfeeding.
Beliefs about myths, traditional beliefs, misconceptions about exclusive breastfeeding, and lack of support from husband and family were barriers to proper exclusive breastfeeding practices (Tsegaye et al.

In the previous researches above, it appears that there has been no discussion of the ChildrenAos right to get exclusive breastfeeding in the Islamic law perspective (Ani Mardiantari, et.

ChildrenAos rights in the convention on the rights of the child and Islam Children in positive law are often interpreted as minors who are still under the supervision of a guardian (Mulyadi, 2.
In protecting children, the role of parents, family, community, environment and even the state is very much needed.
The nuclear family and the community are mainly responsible for protecting the childAos rights because they are indeed the closest people around the child.
All living things have rights that must be protected and childrenAos rights, which are part of the human rights contained in the laws and conventions on childrenAos rights.
The rights that must be granted and contained in the Convention on the rights of the child include: .
the right to life.

Desember 2021: 231-246 The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is a transformative document that has improved the lives of millions of young people worldwide.
Many countries have ratified this Convention into law (Ruck et al.
, 2016, p.
The Indonesian government has ratified it on 25 August 1990 with Presidential Decree No.
36/1990 (Sakharina & Daud, 2020, p.
After the ratification, there will inevitably be legal consequences for implementing it and ensuring the implementation of the Convention through the establishment of national law.
It becomes one of the most decisive factors for the success of the welfare development and protection of the rights and the benefits of Indonesian children without discrimination.
Children are gifts and trusts that their parents must guard.
Parents have to protect and care for their children properly.
Islam as rahmatan lil Aoalamin is very concerned about every phase of human life.
Even when it is still in the womb, some rights must be fulfilled.
This illustrates that the essence of child protection in Islam is about fulfilling childrenAos rights and protection from harmful things.
Among the rights of a child whose parents or guardians must be fulfilled in the view of Islam include: .
The right to life.
The right to a lineage recognition.
The right to a good name.
The right to breastfeeding.
The right to care and treatment.
The right a living.
The right to education and teaching.

Exclusive breastfeeding and its benefits Talking about the childrenAos juridical and normative rights cannot be separated from care and protection because toddlers need the role of parents and their families.
One of the rights that newborns must obtain is the right to obtain exclusive breastfeeding.
Exclusive breastfeeding given to babies in the first six months of age can guarantee their health, but it turns out that in the first six months, there are still babies who are not exclusively breastfed.
Many factors cause a mother not to breastfeed or fail to give exclusive breastfeeding to her babies, such as family members and even doctors who are not supportiveAithe experience of mothers who first gave birth to their first child results in a fear to breastfeed.
Moreover, many other factors influence their failure in exclusive ChildrenAos right to get exclusive breastfeeding in the Islamic law perspective (Ani Mardiantari, et.
Exclusive breastfeeding is the process of giving only breast milk without adding other liquids or solid foods (Rusli, 2008, p.
The Government Regulation also explains that exclusive breastfeeding is breast milk given to a baby from birth for six months without adding and or replacing it with other foods or drinks (AuGovernment Rule no.

and after six months breast milk is still given until two years with other complementary foods.
Babies between 0-6 months have met nutritional needs only with exclusive breastfeeding without any addition.
Breast milk is the best choice for mothers to give to their babies because it contains many nutrients needed for growth and development.

needed for the optimal formation of brain cells.
Solid foods introduced before six months of age cannot replace breast milk and provide no health benefits (Hay & Byrug, 2019, p.
Exclusive breastfeeding can benefit all, both the baby, parents, the community, and even the country.
Breastfeeding can regulate digestive function and improve immune function and prevent acute illness.
The long-term benefits of breastfeeding for babies include reducing the risk of illness requiring hospitalization and promoting brain development.
For mothers who breastfeed, breastfeeding can also accelerate uterine involution and reduce postpartum stress.
Another benefit that can be obtained from breastfeeding is that it can reduce the risk of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian The benefits of exclusive breastfeeding for families and communities are that it can be a factor in economic savings and reduce infant mortality (Huang et al.
, 2.
Breast milk benefits the baby and affects the mother and the environment.
By seeing the nutritional content and enormous benefits of breast milk, parents should be willing to give exclusive breastfeeding rights to their babies in the first six months and be added with extra food at the age of 6 months for optimal growth and development.
Breast milk is the first staple food for babies that contains complete nutrition needed for their development in 6 However, not all newborn babies get exclusive breastfeeding.
Several factors influence mothers not to give exclusive breastfeeding, including .
Lack of knowledge of mothers about exclusive breastfeeding.
maternal activities that hinder exclusive breastfeeding.

Support of healthcare workers (Septikasari, 2018, p.
A mother holds primary role holders in infant nutrition, but this should not be separated from the encouragement of many parties, especially families and healthcare workers, which are indispensable for the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
This support is not only in the form of providing information but also moral and facility support.
Healthcare workers have a significant role in motivating mothers to give exclusive breastfeeding.
Information about the benefits of breastfeeding is something that healthcare workers must convey, and even healthcare workers can also provide ways/tips to working mothers who want to give exclusive breastfeeding.
Exclusive breastfeeding should be done as soon as possible when the baby has just been born, and this aims to stimulate the milk to come out immediately so that the mother can give exclusive breastfeeding to the baby.
However, there are several conditions in which the baby cannot receive breast milk, including the influence of anesthesia after an abnormal delivery, emergency surgery for the mother, baby or mother treated in the ICU/NICU after the birth process, babies born prematurely, stillbirths, and mothers HIV positive.
These are why a mother can delay breastfeeding her baby (Zainafree.
Widanti, dan Wahyati Y.
, 2017, p.
Breastfeeding is a natural act that a mother should own, but this will not work correctly if a mother does not get support from various parties.
Therefore, mothers need active support from those closest to them for success in the process of exclusive breastfeeding.
The governmentAos role in exclusive breastfeeding The government has issued a regulation on the issue of exclusive breastfeeding.
this is because the government feels the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding.
These benefits can be felt by babies, breastfeeding mothers, families, and even the state.

Exclusive breastfeeding in Islamic law The community has a custom/culture that contains rules/norms used to regulate social life behavior.
The general norms in society include: First, religious norms.
Breastfeeding is essential for baby development, so babies can grow naturally.
The ideal period of breastfeeding for infants is two years.
Al-QurAoan surah al-Baqarah: 233 states:
a a e a a a a a ca ca ca e a a a a e a e a a e a e a ca a a a e a a e e a a e a AO E aII I OaIA AE aO E aI eOE eOa E a eC aN acIA a A OEO aE OA a AO EIaEA a AI OENI OEA e e a e ca a a e a a a AOE a aONI aEI aOA AuMothers suckle their children for two whole years, if they wish to complete the term, and clothing and maintenance must be borne by the father in a fair manner.

Volume 21.

Desember 2021: 231-246 and child, to bear all their needs properly, both from food and clothing.
So breastfeeding is the motherAos obligation and the fatherAos obligation to support breastfeeding.
Second.
Socio-Cultural Norms.
It can be said that humans are social beings who cannot live alone or in another sense, humans are interdependent for their lives from one person to another.
Although breastfeeding has become a culture in Indonesia, efforts to improve the behavior of exclusive breastfeeding mothers are still needed because, in reality, the practice of exclusive breastfeeding has not been fully implemented.
Socio-cultural and environmental barriers to carrying out exclusive breastfeeding activities can come from the lack of support from partners, the role of healthcare workers who are sometimes still controversial about exclusive breastfeeding because there are still healthcare workers who recommend formula feeding and an unsupportive environment in the exclusive breastfeeding process (Nsiah-Asamoah.
Doku & Agblorti, 2.
Cultural factors also play an essential role in exclusive breastfeeding because these factors can also be a substantial barrier in promoting exclusive breastfeeding (Pemo.
Phillips & Hutchinson, 2.
some traditional societies, cultural concepts manifested in infant feeding patterns, which are different from modern health concepts.
As an illustration, breastfeeding according to modern and medical concepts is recommended for two years, and supplementary feeding Giving solid food should be started after the baby is six months old.
Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the efforts to fulfill a babyAos rights.
During the first six months, the mother does not need to give additional food and drink anymore because breast milk has fulfilled the essential nutrients for the babyAos growth and development.
However, there are still some mothers who do not exclusively breastfeed their babies.
Several factors have contributed to the failure of exclusive breastfeeding: First, the motherAos lack of understanding about exclusive breastfeeding.
Exclusive breastfeeding is a process of giving breast milk without adding other fluids such as formula milk, honey, tea, and others without adding solid foods such as bananas, porridge, biscuits and others.
The Government Regulation explains that mothers have the right to get exclusive breastfeeding from birth until the first six months without adding other food and drinks.
Even in the Islamic concept, breastfeeding is recommended until two.
This is intended to guarantee the babyAos physical, spiritual, and healthy growth.
In society, sometimes people ignore the rules ChildrenAos right to get exclusive breastfeeding in the Islamic law perspective (Ani Mardiantari, et.
determined about the problem.
A motherAos understanding of exclusive breastfeeding is one of the factors in exclusive There are still mothers who think that they give exclusive breastfeeding to their babies, even though they give other drinks.
As Maya Widyawati said: AuI give breast milk from a newborn because there are no problems after the birth process, but I give honey to my child because as far as I know honey is good for a newborn childAy .
nterview with Widyawati.
August 13, 2.
Yuni Astuti, who has a 6-month-old baby, said the same thing: Auwhen my baby was still crying even though I was breastfeeding.
I thought that my baby was still hungry so I gave formula milk so that my baby would not be fussy anymore.
Ay .
nterview with Astuti.
August 13, 2.
Knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding understood by the community is a factor that causes the failure of exclusive breastfeeding to be successful.
Some continue to give breast milk at fewer than six months, but with other food or drinks.
Second, support from family.
The family plays a significant role in the success of the exclusive breastfeeding program.
Husband and parents are the closest people who can support the mother.
MothersAo success in breastfeeding results from teamwork between mothers, babies, fathers, and family environment.
Breastfeeding is often tricky between the first 10-14 days after delivery, the motherAos breasts start to swell, the nipples are sore, the baby is fussy and does not want to breastfeed, often causes despair from the mother and can result in the breastfeeding process being stopped too early or too quickly.
(Indarwati.
Prasetyowati, & Widiyanti, 2017, p.
As said by Nurul Aisyah: Authe family completely surrenders to the mother in breastfeeding the baby, both from the husband and the parents do not force them to give exclusive breastfeeding to the baby, the most important thing is that the baby is not fussyAy .

It is not very nice when the family is not supportive of exclusive breastfeeding.
stated by Tuti Handayani as a healthcare worker at Posyandu Cempaka: Auhusbands should not leave all breastfeeding matters to their wives, because support from closest people such as husbands and parents is very much needed in the early breastfeeding process, especially when there are still scars from The process of giving birth which of course hinders the movement of the motherAy .
nterview with Handayani.
August 20, 2.
Third, the role of healthcare workers.
Not all healthcare workers support exclusive Ijtihad: Jurnal Wacana Hukum Islam dan Kemanusiaan.
Volume 21.
No.
Desember 2021: 231-246 As stated by Winda Yuliani, who gave birth in a midwife, stating that: Auwhen delivery is complete, the baby is not placed on top of the motherAos body, and the baby is given after cleaningAy .
nterview with Yuliani.
August 28, 2.
Early Initiation of Breastfeeding is carried out immediately after the baby is born.
It aims to provide early stimulation to start breastfeeding Failure on early initial and exclusive breastfeeding during this period has the potential to cause nutritional deficiencies in infants and allow the occurrence of poor nutritional status and can even result in the babyAos intellectual intelligence (Sirajuddin.
Abdullah, & Lumula, 2013, p.
Some healthcare workers who assist in the delivery process still provide formula milk.
it is intended that when the motherAos milk has not come out, the baby can be given formula milk while waiting for the milk to come out.
AuWhen the milk has not come out the midwife suggests giving formula milk while continuing to try to get the milk outAy .
nterview with Yuliani.
August 28, 2.
The healthcare workers who do most of the delivery assistance are midwives.
have an excellent opportunity to motivate mothers to give exclusive breastfeeding, provide information on the importance of breast milk as the only food suitable for babies to digest.
Government Regulation Number 33 of 2012 concerning Exclusive Breastfeeding encourages all parties to support breastfeeding mothers.
Healthcare workers and health facilities must initiate early breastfeeding and place mothers and babies in one treatment In addition, there is also a requirement to provide breastfeeding rooms in the workplace and public facilities and restrictions on the promotion of formula milk.
In the community, the policies issued by the government have not been fully implemented.
Not all local governments implement the policy, and there are no sanctions for them (Safitri & Puspitasari, 2019, pp.
The role of healthcare workers who represent the government in supporting exclusive breastfeeding is still not maximized.
In addition, many parties do not heed these regulations so that there are still many babies who do not get their right to exclusive breastfeeding.
Whereas there are sanctions that have been regulated in Article 200 of the Health Law, which states that:
AuEveryone who deliberately obstructs the exclusive breastfeeding program as referred to in Article 128 paragraph .
shall be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 1 .
year and a fine of a ChildrenAos right to get exclusive breastfeeding in the Islamic law perspective (Ani Mardiantari, et.
maximum of Rp.
100,000,000,- .
ne hundred million rupia.
(Dewi, 2020, p.
With the sanctions stipulated in the regulation, there should be no more people preventing exclusive breastfeeding.
However, there has never been an application of such sanctions until now.
This is due to the lack of information submitted by Health officials and public knowledge regarding these regulations.
This was revealed from the results of an interview with Suwardi: AuI do not know if there is a government regulation that regulates fines given when I do not support exclusive breastfeeding, because in my opinion breastfeeding is a personal matterAy .
nterview with Suwardi.
August 28, 2.
Most people do not know about the regulations issued by the government because the community has received very minimal socialization.
Fulfillment of childrenAos rights to exclusive breastfeeding has been regulated in Laws and Government Regulations, and this should receive support from various parties, both from the government, healthcare workers, the community, and most importantly, the family.
It is stated from a religious point of view that exclusive breastfeeding has also been regulated in the verse of the QurAoan.
Allah says in the QurAoan surah al-Baqarah verse 233.
a a e a a a a a ca ca ca e a a a a e a e a a e a e a ca a a a e a a e e a a e a AO E aII I OaIA AE aO E aI eOE eOa E a eC aN acIA a A OEO aE OA a AO EIaEA a AI OENI OEA e a e ca a a e a a a AOE a aONI aEI aOA AuMothers suckle their children for two whole years, if they wish to complete the term, and clothing and maintenance must be borne by the father in a fair manner.
Au In terms of religious norms, breastfeeding is highly recommended until two years.
The first 1000 days of life are a golden age for the child.
This period will affect children to be healthy or intelligent when they grow up.
This is one of the signs why Allah commands mothers to breastfeed their children until they are two years old.
Conclusion Exclusive breastfeeding is the process of giving only breast milk without adding other liquids or solid foods.
However, in Indonesia It is still relatively low even though there is already a ShariAoa that regulates breastfeeding until the age of 2 years in Islamic law.
The government issued Government Regulation no.

Several Ijtihad: Jurnal Wacana Hukum Islam dan Kemanusiaan.

No.
Desember 2021: 231-246 factors influence this, and the lack of mothersAo understanding about exclusive breastfeeding is the most dominant factor.
Many still assume that giving fluids/other solid foods is fine as long as breast milk is still given.
Support from family and the role of healthcare workers also significantly affect the process of exclusive breastfeeding.
The discussion of exclusive breastfeeding from Islamic law is a different matter.
The study of exclusive breastfeeding has the potential to be developed, especially in Indonesia, such as issues related to concrete sanctions for violating childrenAos rights to obtain exclusive breastfeeding and socialization of exclusive breastfeeding.
Thus, further research on exclusive breastfeeding related to sanctions and socialization can be used as a research reference.
