Abstract
The effect of Breastfeeding Self-efficacy (BFSE) and the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative's (BFHI) 10 Steps on breastfeeding initiation, continuation and exclusivity, is well established. However, direct evidence about the association between the experience of the 10 steps and self-efficacy is limited.
