About

Breast feeding is the primary step for healthy generations. Breast milk protects against diseases of childhood period starting from infancy till adulthood. Inspite of the benefits of breast milk due to various reasons a lot of women all around the world and in our country can not begin breast feeding and leave it at an early stage even if they start once. According to Turkey Population and Health Investigation (TPHI) data of 2013; while the rate of only breast feeding among; 0-1 month babies is 57.9%, among babies under 6 months this rate falls to 10.0%. In the case of maternals not carrying out the whole breast feeding conditions situations such as milk secretion decrease, troubles related to breast, babies declining breast and ending breast feeding at an early stage are seen. These problems are related to the self-effıcacy that maternal feels towards breast feeding. The researches show that in addition to the maternal, father's attitude throughout pregnancy is also effective on starting breast feeding, sustaining and maintaining it efficiently.

With this research it has been aimed to evaluate the effect of individual and group breast feeding training of future mother and father at postpartum period on breast-feeding self-effıcacy and attitude.

Research data has been gathered at Turkey Public Hospitals Institution Izmir North Public Hospitals Association of T.R Ministry of Health Tepecik Education and Reserach Hospital between the dates 01 March-30 September 2014.

As a result; it has been seen that breast feeding training is not alone enough to improve self sufficiency and attitude, and maternals have to be supported by health staff at postpartum period in hospital. It is suggested to include also fathers to the breast feeding training provided at pregnancy period.
