abstract={The objective of this study is to identify the difficulties related to the practice of exclusive breastfeeding of infants from birth to 6 months with a view to finding sustainable solutions for its implementation. The survey was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study conducted on a sample of 200 women from low-income households. The survey location is the commune of Abobo and the period indicated is from October 7, 2020 to February 7, 2021. After the survey, it was found that the difficulties related to the decline in exclusive breastfeeding are related to insufficient production of breast milk, fatigue, daily occupation of the mother, pain and cracking of the nipple, stress, poor health of the mother and atrophy of the udder. Taking into account the recommendations will boost the competitiveness of exclusive breastfeeding in relation to the nutritional status of infants by ensuring food security for infants. But also, it will allow to reach the millennium objective of the WHO and the UNICEF which is to exclusively breastfeed the infant from 0 to 6 months.},
