Methods: A descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 153 mothers having babies aged 6-12 months old in Surabaya, Indonesia, recruited using simple random sampling.

Conclusion: Knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, income and family support had a significant correlation with mothers’ behaviors in selecting complementary feeding. This finding emphasizes pivotal needs to increase knowledge and attitude of complementary feeding for both mothers as the infant primary caregivers, and families as the closest support system for mothers. }, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {306--316} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v10i3.27706}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/27706} }
