Articles were selected using inclusion criteria: original research, published in English and Indonesian languages, within the last 5 years (2018-2023). A total of 50 articles were found. Ten articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the author's review. Conclusion: Breastfeeding education training programs have an impact on the success of breastfeeding mothers. The more healthcare professionals, especially midwives, understand breastfeeding education, the more breastfeeding mothers will be aware of the importance of breastfeeding for their children.
