An average of 4-5 women were included in each group. this group, the training consisted of 4 sessions and a total of 12 hours. It included information about breastfeeding, hypnosis approaches and different techniques. In line with the demands of the group, the session days and hours were decided with together.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Level of breastfeeding self-efficacy	Women's breastfeeding self-efficacy during pregnancy were evaluated with the Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. This scale was developed by Dennis et al (2003) for fear after childbirth. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Tokat et al. (2010). This scale consisting of 14 items is a 5-point Likert-type. The positive-meaning items are scored in reverse order. Therefore, the scores ranged from 14 to 70. The scale has no cutoff score, and high scores indicated higher breastfeedin self- efficacy. There are two versions of the scale used during pregnancy and postpartum. In both versions, the items are the same and the tenses change. In order to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of both antenatal and postnatal versions of the scale, language, structure and predictive validity analyzes were performed and the Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.87 for the antenatal measurement tool and 0.86 for the postnatal measurement tool.	Between 28-34 weeks of pregnancy

Between 30-36 weeks of pregnancy
Level of breastfeeding self-efficacy	Women's breastfeeding self-efficacy at the postpartum period were evaluated with the Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. This scale was developed by Dennis et al (2003) for fear after childbirth. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Tokat et al. (2010). This scale consisting of 14 items is a 5-point Likert-type. The positive-meaning items are scored in reverse order. Therefore, the scores ranged from 14 to 70.

Postpartum 1st week
Level of breastfeeding motivation	In order to improve the breastfeeding motivation of women in the postpartum period, Peleg et al. Breastfeeding Motivation Scale was developed by in 2015. The scale consists of 24 items and 5 sub-dimensions. The scale does not have a total score. The scores of the sub-dimensions are calculated by taking the average of the sub-dimension scores of the scale. As the score obtained from the scale sub-dimension increases, the motivation score representing that sub-dimension also increases. The Turkish adaptation of the scale was carried out by Mızrak and Özdoğan in 2017, and the cronbach alpha value was determined as 0.88.	Postpartum 1st week
Breastfeeding Process Evaluation Form	The breastfeeding process evaluation form was created by the researchers as a result of the literature review in order to determine the status of exclusive breastfeeding in the first eight weeks and the factors affecting it. Breastfeeding processes evaluation form consists of 20 questions.	Postpartum 1st week
