The number of samples is 30 people with the total sampling technique. Collecting data using a questionnaire then the data is processed using SPSS using Chi-squareThe results of the analysis showed that most of the respondents were breastfed, namely 20 people (66.7%), for the baby's weight gain while being breastfed, there were 20 people (66.7%) while the results of the Chi-Square test between AS givers with an increase in baby's weight obtained a p-value of 0.000 (p-value) (smaller than 0.05) so there is a significant correlation between the variable breastfeeding and infant weight gain.One of the benefits of breastfeeding for babies can be seen from the nutritional aspect of babies.

The child's weight gain is greatly influenced when the child gets adequate food intake, the energy-rich food needed by the child for the purposes of basal metabolism, growth and activity.
