Detailed description

Primiparous pregnant women may need support regarding the breastfeeding process because they have not had breastfeeding experience before. Negative breastfeeding stories and misinformation can affect beliefs, attitudes, and fears about breastfeeding. Education-based interventions provided by health professionals can be beneficial in reducing false beliefs and myths about breastfeeding, reducing breastfeeding-related fears/anxious expectations, and increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy.
