A family support survey and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF) instrument were both used as research instruments. Using Spearman's rho correlation, analyze the data. According to this study, 71 persons (78%) fall into the "good" category for family support, and 82 (89%) fall into the "high" category for breastfeeding self-efficacy. The analysis's findings showed a relationship between pregnant women's breastfeeding self-efficacy and family support, with a p-value of 0.0001 (p less than 0.05) and with a correlation coefficient of r=0.549. Good family support increases the likelihood that a woman will successfully breastfeed.
