Breast milk contains high nutrients which are very beneficial for the baby's health. The risk of death in children who are not breastfed is 14 times higher than in children who are exclusively breastfed. Maternal efficacy in breastfeeding is very necessary so that mothers realize that breastfeeding can save costs and is a simple process. Mothers need effective methods to be able to have skills in breastfeeding. Using breastfeeding self-efficacy theory can provide the right solution to overcome breastfeeding problems and provide appropriate consultation. Self-efficacy is one of the constructs of Bandura's Social Learning Theory and is a cognitive process.
