With the birth of a baby, a natural breastfeeding process begins. Every healthy new-born is prepared and “programmed” after the birth to crawl on the mother’s belly to search for the breast and start feeding on mother’s milk. SZO and UNICEF recommend child’s exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and then to combine breastfeeding and formula-feeding during the first and second year of child’s life. The term exclusive breastfeeding means that child’s diet consists only of mother’s milk (it excludes expressed milk and/or surrogate breastfeeding mother’s milk) without other additives and water, except for vitamins, minerals, medicine and oral rehydration salts if the child needs it. In order for mothers to establish successful breastfeeding process, they need to have good quality education about breastfeeding, they need to be taught certain skills, prepared for breastfeeding, given professional help and support, not only by medical stuff but also by family. Some basic elements and techniques are required for successful breastfeeding such as the location of breastfeeding, breast hygiene, choice of the most comfortable position of the mother and child during breastfeeding, knowledge on how to hold the breast, knowledge on how to make child accept the nipple, helping child while sucking and finishing the breastfeeding process. Visiting nurse is crucial for promoting and preparing mother for breastfeeding, especially in the first weeks after giving birth. She has an insight into how successful the start of breastfeeding is. She gives advice to the mother in solving difficulties and supports the mother in the continuation of the breastfeeding process. 145 female participants took part in the research conducted from 7th until 21st July 2022 in Medjimurje county. The goal of the research was to examine ways in which mothers in Medjimurje county are prepared for breastfeeding process. Furthermore, different types of experience with breastfeeding were examined, as well as the satisfaction with the information on breastfeeding provided during the visits of the visiting nurse. The results of the research show that most of the participants were educated on breastfeeding before giving birth and the majority of them were collecting information on the Internet, which is expected because of the easy access and availability of information online. However, it has been shown that the advice and experience of mothers, grandmothers and friends were the most useful in informing participants about breastfeeding. The majority of participants were taught about the importance of breastfeeding by visiting nurse and more than half of the participants were very satisfied with the information they received from the visiting nurse.
