Description
Emine Bayrak Aykan and Tutku Kırcı Temiz study fathers' roles in breastfeeding in Turkey, in work from 2026. Breastfeeding is strongly advised for mother and baby health, yet world rates lag behind targets. Fathers shape whether mothers start, continue, or stop, but that influence is little measured.
The survey covered 269 fathers in Turkey with babies up to two years old. Fathers had to read Turkish and agree to take part. Questions probed attitudes, hands-on participation, and sway over feeding choices. Links between those three areas were the core analysis. The authors frame the findings for family-centered support programs. Better father engagement is the practical aim.
