Breast milk is the nutrition a baby needs in the first six months after birth. Providing a substitute for mother's
milk (PASI) before a child is six months old is not recommended, because it can increase the possibility of
contamination and increase the risk of disease, especially diarrhea. At this age the nutritional needs of infants
obtained from breast milk only cover 60% of the rest must be obtained from additional food. Complementary
feeding of at least 6 months of age is due to the baby's digestion at an earlier age is not perfect and if it is forced
to cause pain because of feeding too fast and the immunity against bacteria is still low. The purpose is the
correlation of knowledge and family support for the provision of complementary food (MP-ASI) for infants aged
6-12 months in the Bumi Agung Pesawaran year 2020. This type of quantitative research is analytic research
design with cross sectional approach. The population is all mothers in the working area to the posyandu Bumi
Agung who have children aged 6-12 months as many as 57 respondents. The sampling technique in this study
uses total sampling. Analysis of the data used using the chi square test. The results of data analysis and
processing found that there is a correlation between mother's knowledge and complementary feeding (MP-ASI)
in infants aged 6-12 months obtained p-value 0.003 (<0.05) with an odds ratio of 6.349 (20.461-1.970). There is
a relationship of family support for the provision of complementary foods (MP-ASI) in infants aged 6-12 months
obtained p-value 0.008 (<0.05) with an odds ratio of 6.349 (20.461-1.970). It is expected that the results of this

too early for the baby to get full ASI rights. Reducing the provision of MP-ASI as early as possible so that babies
