| Abstract [eng] |
Although exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months, only about 44% of infants are exclusively breastfed worldwide. Studies show that this might be related to a common lack of knowledge and negative attitudes towards breatfeeding. Despite some studies with medical students, there is a lack of studies on this topic among students from various educational backgrounds. Therefore, we aimed to determine knowledge of students from various study programs about infant feeding and attitudes towards exclusive breastfeeding. |
