For this purpose, the hypotheses created in our study are as follows.
- H1: Breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes of mothers in the PABEP group are significantly higher than those in the control group.
- H1: Breastfeeding proficiency levels of mothers in the PABEP group are significantly higher than those in the control group.
- H1: Breastfeeding success of mothers in the PABEP group is significantly higher than the control group, according to the breastfeeding evaluation results.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy
Time Frame: Research data will be collected during training before birth and at 1 and 4 weeks after birth.
It is a scale consisting of 33 items developed by Dennis (1999). The scale prepared as a five-point Likert type; (1) I never trust myself, (2) I don't trust myself very much, (3) I sometimes trust myself, (4) I trust myself most of the time, (5) I always trust myself. As the total score on the scale increases, breastfeeding self-efficacy also increases. The lowest score is 33 and the highest score is 165.
Secondary Outcomes
- breastfeeding success(Research data will be collected during training before birth and at 1 and 4 weeks after birth.)
