“…Different studies in the literature have determined that whether the baby is a boy or a girl affects the mother's breastfeeding attitudes and duration, but the study results present different findings (Ferris et al, 1987, Fledderjohann et al, 2014Shafer & Hawkins, 2017;Jayachandran & Kuziemko, 2011). It is known that mothers' breastfeeding attitudes are influenced by their perceptions and cultures, but the number of qualified studies conducted in this field to determine the direction of the effect is quite limited (Cevik & Yasar, 2023;Gyamfi et al, 2021;Scott et al, 2019). It is important to know the factors affecting mothers' breastfeeding attitudes to ensure effective and adequate breastfeeding without inequality between genders.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of infant gender on mothers' breastfeeding attitudes and duration in Turkey. This cross-sectional study was conducted with women (n:386) each of whom had a child between 1 and 36 months old and applied to family health centers in 2022. Data were collected using the “Information Form”’ and the “Iowa Infant Feeding Scale (IIFAS)”. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test. The study was carried out according to STROBE. The mothers' IIFAS mean score was 63.54±7.01. The IIFAS score of mothers with girls was 63.31 (SD: 7.04), with boys were 64.56 (SD: 6.87), and the difference between them was not statistically significant (t: -1.602, p>0.05). The mean duration of breastfeeding for girls was 14.36 + 7.52 months, and for boys were 15.26 + 7.62 months, and the difference between them was not significant (t: -1.215, p>0.05). We concluded that there was no disparity in the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and total breastfeeding for the children of both sexes of the mothers in the study. In addition, it was determined that mothers' attitudes toward breastfeeding were positive.
