The result of the study showed that the 79 respondents (73.8%) did not give exclusive breastfeeding, 60 toddlers (56.1%) had parents with smoking habit, and 27 respondents (25.2%) experienced pneumonia. There was a correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and pneumonia in toddler (p-value = 0.040; OR = 0.275).
