Reasons, associated factors, and attitudes toward breastfeeding mothers’ use of complementary medicine products: a study from Türkiye
Breastfeeding mothers often use CMPs to stay healthy and support immunity. While healthcare providers are the most trusted source of information, many women get advice from family, friends, or herbalists, and some use CMPs without any recommendations. This underscores the importance of healthcare providers' role in guiding mothers on the safe and informed use of both prescribed and self-prescribed CMPs.
