Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale	1 day (first meeting during pregnancy)	The scale consists of a total of 20 items. The scale is a 5-point Likert type. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 20 and the highest score is 100. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy has increased.
Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale	1 day (first meeting during pregnancy and at the sixth week postpartum)	It is a 10-item self-report scale that measures maternal depressive symptoms over the past seven days. Higher scores reflect more depressive symptoms. Symptoms are rated on a 4-point Likert scale with scores ranging from 0 to 30. The cut-off score of the scale was determined as ≥13. If the total score of the scale is 12 or less, the participant is not at risk for PPD, but if he scores 13 or more, he is at risk.
Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy	sixth week postpartum	Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Short Form is a 5-point Likert-type scale. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 14 and the highest score is 70. A higher score indicates higher breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Personal Information Form	1 day (first meeting during pregnancy)	The form created to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of the individuals included in the research was prepared by the researcher in line with the literature.
