Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) means that the infant receives only breast milk for the first six months of life. The aim of this study was to discuss the determinant factors of exclusive breastfeeding. We extracted 30 articles in both qualitative and quantitative studies in the english language, based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses) method. There were 7 determinant factors of exclusive breastfeeding mentioned. The proportion of mothers who exclusively breastfeed their infants up to 6 months remaining low. Interventions that seek to increase exclusive breastfeeding should be timely with an increased focus on mothers with infants four to six months of age and in those who are most at risk of early discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding.
