dc.description.abstractINTRODUCTION: This study was performed descriptively to investigate true and falses known by the mothers about mother milk and breastfeeding. METHODS: The study was performed with 250 mothers whose infants between 0-2 years old were hospitalized in Research and Training Hospital between January 1 – March 1, 2015. A questionnaire including 32 questions and a descriptive form including 34 statements which were evaluating knoledge of the mothers about mother milk and breastfeeding were used as data collection tools. Statistical analyses were used for the assessment of data. RESULTS: Mean age of the mothers in the study was 28.7 years; 27.6% were elementary school graduates and 87.2% were housewives. It was determined that 85.6% of the mothers were informed about mother milk and breastfeeding, and healthcare professionals were found to be in the first place by 56% for information resources. 41.6% of the mothers gave “yes” response to the statement of “Mother milk in the refrigerator should be warmed before given to the baby”; 71.2% gave “yes” response to the statement of “Breasts are cleaned with carbonated or soapy water before each breastfeeding”. When the responses of the mothers for their status of getting information and for mother milk and breastfeeding were compared, a statistically significant difference was found between their status of getting information and eight statements (p<0.05). DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION: Although majority of the mothers in the study were informed about breast milk and breastfeeding, it was observed that their knowledge about mother milk and breastfeeding was not enough. © 2018, Galenos Yayincilik,.
