Abstract

Aim: Although pediatricians are one of the leading professionals in public to consult with on childbearing, breastfeeding and child care, there is a lack of data about the attitude, choice and practice of pediatricians towards these issues. The aim of this study is to determine female pediatricians' practices on childbearing, breastfeeding and child care and to discuss the possible differences from the general population.
