Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effect of tele-education offered to mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic on breastfeeding success and perceived breastfeeding self-efficacy. The mothers were divided into experimental (n = 28) and control groups (n = 28). They were followed-up postnatal 1st week, 4th week, 3rd month, and 6th month in both groups. The researchers provided a 4-week long education and counseling service to mothers in the experimental group via direct phone calls and text messages. It was determined that the tele-education given to mothers about breastfeeding during the COVID-19 pandemic increased breastfeeding success and perceived breastfeeding self-efficacy.
