The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between exclusive breast-feeding, health literacy and other affective factors in primiparous women using logistic regression model.
Materials and Methods

Results
Exclusive breast-feeding was reported in 50.5% of mothers. There was a statistically significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and variables health literacy level in adequate level (p<0.001) and not much enough level (p<0.05), mother’s age (p<0.001), the first time of lactation in level of greater than one hour and a level after one hour (p<0.001), the delivery method (p <0.05), and job (p <0.05). The adequacy of the model was confirmed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
