The aim of this study was to compare the breastfeeding behaviors of mothers toward infants in different ethnic groups. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This descriptive cross-sectional study included women of four ethnic groups (Assyrian, Turkish, Arab, and Kurdish) living in Mardin, Turkey. The study was completed with 180 Assyrian, 184 Turkish, 175 Arab, and 169 Kurdish women. In total, 708 women participated in this study. Data were collected between August 12, 2024, and September 22, 2024. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The highest rate of traditional breastfeeding practices was seen in Kurdish (99.4%), whereas this rate was 97.3% in Turkish, 96% in Arab, and 84.4% in Assyrian. The highest rate of giving breast milk immediately after birth was in Assyrian (71.7%), while this rate was 69.3% in Turkish, 61.9% in Kurdish, and 47% in Arab (<i>p</i> = 0.000). The rate of those who waited for three calls to prayer to feed the baby was 13.1% in Kurdish, 11.3% in Arab, 9.5% in Turkish, and 7.9% in Assyrian. The rate of those who did not give the first milk (colostrum) to the baby was 15.8% in Assyrian, 11.7% in Turkish, 6.5% in Kurdish, and 6% in Arab. The rate of those who give sugared water as the baby's first nutrient was 37.5% in Arab, 20.8% in Kurdish, 11.7% in Turkish, and 9.2% in Assyrian. Increased education levels were associated with decreased rates of the presence of traditional practices. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This study provides novel results regarding the comparison of breastfeeding behaviors among ethnic groups living in the same city. Comparing breastfeeding practices across the four ethnic groups allowed us to better understand different breastfeeding practices, which could lead to the development of culturally sensitive interventions to improve the health of children and mothers.

Infant mothers' antibiotics consumption can contribute to this opportunistic fungal growth due to their weaker immune systems. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To investigate the relationship between maternal antibiotic consumption and oral thrush infection in breastfeeding infants, this study aims to provide insights for health care professionals regarding antibiotic prescriptions and preventive strategies for managing oral thrush. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A quasi-experimental design with a control group was used. Eighty-two breastfeeding infants were divided into two groups: Group 1 (<i>n</i> = 40) infants of antibiotic-consuming mothers and Group 2 (<i>n</i> = 42) infants of nonantibiotic-consuming mothers.
