Exclusive ASI (breast milk) is breastfeeding with only breast milk, without giving other supplements like orange juice, honey, tea, or plain water and without other solid food like banana, milk porridge, biscuit, rice porridge, and rice cooked in a pan of water (au bain-marie). It is the best food for the survival of a 0-6 month-old baby, and it is better to continually give until the baby is 2 years old. The objective of this research was to find out the correlation of women’s knowledge and attitude with breastfeeding with exclusive ASI. The research used observational analytic method with sectional design. The population was 687 women who breastfed their 6-12 month-old babies at Rambung Puskesmas, and 90 of them were used as the samples, taken by using consecutive sampling technique and Lame show formula. The data were analyzed by using chi square test at the significance level of 95% (0.05). The result of the research showed that there was significant correlation of the respondents’ knowledge (p<0.05) and attitude (p<0.05) with breastfeeding with exclusive ASI.
