Abstract
The high rates of neonatal, infant and children mortality in Indonesia indicate that the MDGs 2017 target has not been fully achieved. One of the prevention measures for mortality is exclusive breastfeeding. In Indonesia, the breast-feeding coverage has not reached the expected target because one of the factors is working mothers. Most working mothers stop breastfeeding or start mixing baby feeding before the baby is 6 months old. Here, the commitment of company managers in implementing government policies will increase exclusive breast-feeding coverage. This type of research uses descriptive analysis with documentation study methods, observation, interviews and questionnaires in 4 textile companies in Semarang City, Semarang Regency and Pekalongan. The number of respondents 99 people consists of women workers, administrators of workplaces and health workers in the workplace. The results of the study show that 49.5% of companies are committed to supporting government policies by facilitating leave and that there are arrangements for working hours that are in accordance with the rules, and that 50.5% do not support this matter and do not fully support government policy. Furthermore, the results of this study are complemented by interviews with HRD and management related to breastfeeding policy and working conditions.

Summary
Indicators of the success of the child health program refer to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2015 document. One of them is giving breast-feeding immediately after birth or called early initiation of breastfeeding as well as exclusive breast-feeding (Fikawati & Syafiq, 2010; Edmond et al, 2006; Baker, Sanei, & Franklin, 2006; Madhu, Chowdary, & Masthi, 2009) This is supported by the statement of the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF), that as many as 30,000 infant deaths in Indonesia and 10 million deaths of children under five in the world each year. This is supposedly able to prevent through exclusive breast-feeding for six months from the date of birth, without having to provide additional food and drinks to the baby (Edmond et al, 2006).
