Aims: We aimed to assess the effect of support from the mothers with positive breast feeding experience on the patterns and duration of breastfeeding in nulliparous women. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 240 nulliparous women were participated. Convenient sampling was done at hospitals, but the samples were allocated to the intervention (n=120) and control (n=120) groups randomly using Rand and Excel software. The inclusion criteria for the mothers were as follows: willingness to participate, nulliparity, singleton pregnancy, residing in Ilam, being available and literate, gestational age of over 37 weeks at the time of delivery, no diagnosed debilitating disease in the mother or neonate, no fetal disorders during pregnancy, not requiring NICU stay. The control group program included the Routine trainings. The intervention group program included the Routine trainings plus the support from the 30 mothers with positive breast feeding experience during the 3 months after delivery. Breast feeding patterns in the end of firth, second and third months and Mother's satisfaction from breastfeeding was evaluated in the end ofthird month.
