Results: In this study, 32. 6% had good levels of knowledge about breastfeeding and majority of them (39. 1%) had an average knowledge. All of mothers had positive Attitude, but 20. 3% of mothers had more positive Attitude and most of individuals (67. 2%) were in the intermediate state and the rest had a more negative Attitude. In the multivariate analysis in the regression logestic model Attitude status (P<0. 0001), experience of breastfeeding(P=0. 006), breastfeeding training (P=0. 004), income (P=0. 03) and mother’ s job (P=0. 001) were anticipating factors of high knowledge, and the status of knowledge(P=0. 043), mothers’ education(P=0. 004), natural delivery compared to cesarean section (P=0. 008), type of infant’ s feeding (P=0. 0001) were anticipating factors related to positive Attitude status. Also, a significant poor positive relationship was found between age and the score of knowledge (r=0. 158, P=0. 002) and Attitude (r=0. 128, P=0. 062). Conclusion: A significant number of mothers had moderate knowledge about breastfeeding, which necessitates intervention programming, especially for mothers with low levels of education.
