This research design is descriptive with a sample of 34 people with purposive sampling method. This study was conducted from July 2023 to November 2023 using a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire about knowledge and attitudes of 10 questions each. The results showed that the majority of mothers' knowledge was in the good category as many as 16 people (47.1%) and the minority in the poor category as many as 3 people (8.8%), based on the attitude of the majority in the positive category as many as 27 people (79.4%) and the minority in the negative category as many as 7 people.
