Summary

The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund recommend that every baby be fed with breast milk alone from birth to 6 months, then with additional foods; recommends continuation of breastfeeding until at least 2 years of age. It has been reported that with the spread of breastfeeding, 823,000 child and 20,000 maternal deaths can be prevented and 300 billion dollars of economic savings can be made every year in the world. The COVID 19 pandemic, which has been affecting the whole world for the last two years, has led to changes in the field of consultancy as well as in all areas. Counseling has created a tendency to be given online due to the rapid spread of the virus, the fact that it is deadly, and the increased risk in closed areas.

There has been a great deal of interest in the subject of breastfeeding behavior in the literature, but it has been observed that there is not enough research on breastfeeding counseling given online. In this study, breastfeeding behavior of mothers in the first six months and the duration of starting solid food will be investigated.
