description Background: Promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for poor families is expected to have a big impact on children's future development. The study analyzed the promotion target to increase EBF among poor families in Indonesia. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study that looked at 48,995 children. We examined EBF practice as a dependent variable. We included eight characteristics as independent variables (residence, maternal age, marital, education, employment, wealth, antenatal care (ANC), and early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF). Finally, we did a binary logistic regression test. Results: The data reveals that the percentage of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) among impoverished households in Indonesia is 39.9 %. The outcome showed that mothers in rural areas were 1.235 times more likely than those in urban areas to perform EBF (95 % CI 1.229–1.241). According to maternal age, all ages were more likely to achieve EBF than <20. Moreover, based on marital status, married mothers were 1.055 times more likely than divorced/widowed mothers to perform EBF (95 % CI 1.034–1.076). Mothers with all education levels were more likely than those without education to achieve EBF. Mothers with ANC were 1.430 times more likely to achieve EBF than those without (95 % CI 1.416–1.444). Mothers who perform EIBF were 1.624 times more likely than those who did not perform EIBF to achieve EBF (95 % CI 1.616–1.632). Conclusion: Six mother characteristics were the specific promotion target among poor families to increase EBF in Indonesia: living in urban areas, being young, having divorced/widowed status, having a poor education, and not performing ANC and EIBF.
