“…Upon examining reasons for starting complementary feeding in examined studies, the most common reasons were determined as insufficient breast milk or cessation of breastfeeding (4,25,29,32,40,41,44,45,46,48,53,55,60), the fact that infant does not suck (25,32,37,44,45,48), and mother's thinking that child has grown up and it is time to wean (4,41,44,53,60). The other reasons were determined to be mother's and infant's disease (25,44), experiencing a breastfeeding problem (45), starting to work (4), getting used to a feeding bottle (44), and low self-efficacy (58).…”

Objective: This study was carried out to systematically review the studies conducted on breastfeeding in Turkey and to provide information on the breastfeeding status.Methods: This study is a systematic review and conducted by examining 47 studies carried out in Turkey between January 2008-December 2018 and published in national and international journals. The methodological quality of the studies was examined according to the evaluation criteria of the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist was used while reporting the review. Results:According to the obtained study results, it was determined that the time of breastfeeding initiation and the mean duration of breastfeeding were in quite a wide range. Among breastfeeding-related factors, maternal age, education, employment status, the number of living children, the type of birth, preterm birth, receiving professional support on breastfeeding, early postnatal breastfeeding, and giving complementary feeding or formula were frequently listed. The most common reason for starting complementary feeding or was determined to be the idea that breast milk was insufficient. Conclusion:No common language and unity of definition were observed in the studies reviewed. The studies were conducted in different samples. It is thought that the systematization of studies on breastfeeding will be scientifically useful for determining the current situation, determining the scope of future studies, and making the necessary arrangements.
