F test at 90% effect power 0.25 medium effect level on the sample of the study analyzed using the Gpower (3.1.9.2) Programe. As a result of the analyze, it was planned to recruit 207 nulliparous pregnant women. According to the calculation made, there should be at least 69 people in each groups. Accordingly, 69 people in the experimental 1 group (biological nurturing), 69 people in the experimental 2 group (classical breastfeeding), 69 people should be included in the control group. Experimental 1 group and experimental 2 group will be given breastfeeding training on their first visit and after two weeks. Breastfeeding success in the postpartum period will be compared in all groups.
