Breastfeeding education enables new mothers to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to breastfeed their babies in a healthy way. Breast milk is the most natural and ideal food that meets all the nutritional needs of the baby in the first six months; It strengthens the immune system and protects from diseases. In the training, important topics such as correct breastfeeding techniques, what should be done to increase milk production, frequency of breastfeeding, and mother's nutrition were discussed. Additionally, it has been emphasized that breastfeeding contributes to the establishment of a strong emotional bond between mother and baby and positively affects the mother's health. Breastfeeding education helps both mother and baby get off to a healthy start. It was wanted to raise awareness among mothers about this important issue. Mothers were given training on this subject in family health centers. In this context, continuing in cooperation with institutions affiliated with the district health directorate makes the institutions stronger.
