About this trial

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of complementary feeding education provided to fathers on father-infant bonding and infant feeding behavior. To assess father-infant bonding, the study will use the Father-Infant Bonding Scale and the Karitane Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale. For assessing infant feeding behavior, the Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale will be employed. These scales will be administered to participants both before and 3 months after the training.
