Abstract

Breastfeeding is one of the effective ways for the health and survival of a child, so it is necessary to increase breastfeeding to the international level throughout the world. To support sustainable and optimal breastfeeding practices, UNICEF and WHO call on governments and stakeholders to increase the investment needed to protect and support breastfeeding. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that the average rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the world is only around 38 percent. Based on this, it is necessary to empower breastfeeding mothers to increase exclusive breastfeeding. A literature scoping review using searches in four online databases (Pubmed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, National Library). From an online search 17,341 articles were identified, but only 4 met the inclusion criteria for this article. Most of this article is about empowering women to breastfeed. One article related to Empowerment of women to determine Early Breastfeeding Initiation, one article related to empowering breastfeeding mothers in the city and 2 articles related to empowering breastfeeding mothers to support exclusive breastfeeding. Maternal education is the only predictor of women’s empowerment in interventions to increase breastfeeding world. The success of educating mothers and increasing the rate of breastfeeding can be adjusted to efforts to empower women in the future. However, there is doubt that education will be effective in a society where traditional values are firmly held or in a context where health professional resources are limited. These include unavoidable barriers to breastfeeding, such as the mother’s physical constraints and the baby’s need for immediate medical care.
