BACKGROUND
Exclusive breastfeeding is defined as the practice of providing infants with breast milk as their sole source of nourishment for the first six months of life. This study investigated the factors influencing exclusive breastfeeding practices in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
METHODS
The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional study design. Data gathered from 340 mothers attending the Maternity and Childhood Hospital in Makkah provided insights into the demographic profiles and postpartum practices of participants.
RESULTS
The study revealed the significance of early breastfeeding initiation and the provision of pre-birth breastfeeding information in extending the duration of exclusive breastfeeding. There was a statistically significant difference between mothers who had Cesarean section deliveries and those who had natural deliveries in terms of exclusive breastfeeding duration.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings have essential implications for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and future research endeavors, emphasizing the importance of healthcare education and timely support in promoting extended exclusive breastfeeding practices.

纯母乳喂养的定义是在婴儿出生后的前六个月，仅以母乳作为其唯一的营养来源。本研究调查了沙特阿拉伯麦加地区影响纯母乳喂养行为的因素。
方法
本研究采用描述性横断面研究设计。从麦加妇产儿童医院的340名母亲收集的数据，为了解参与者的人口统计学特征和产后行为提供了见解。
结果
该研究揭示了早期开始母乳喂养以及提供产前母乳喂养信息对延长纯母乳喂养持续时间的重要性。剖宫产分娩的母亲和自然分娩的母亲在纯母乳喂养持续时间方面存在统计学上的显著差异。
结论
这些发现对医疗保健专业人员、政策制定者和未来的研究工作具有重要意义，强调了健康教育和及时支持在促进延长纯母乳喂养行为方面的重要性。
