Abstract	Breastfeeding, particularly exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), plays a crucial role in improving maternal and infant health outcomes. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) strongly advocate EBF for the first six months of life, emphasizing its potential to prevent infant morbidity and mortality. This study determined the Intentions and Barriers toward successful breastfeeding among the mothers of Bataraza in Palawan. Specifically, it explored how demographic factors can be a hindrance to successful breastfeeding. Using a descriptive-quantitative research design, 15 breastfeeding mothers purposively selected from six barangays in Bataraza, Palawan participated in the study.
