This study was conducted with the aim of determining predictors of breastfeeding performance in women who were referred to health centres in Tabriz City, Iran, in 2014 to 2015.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study cluster\u2010sampled 220 breastfeeding women with infants aged 4 to 6\u00a0months. The Breastfeeding Self\u2010Efficacy Scale, the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale, the personal resource questionnaire\u201085, and a researcher\u2010developed knowledge questionnaire were used to collect data.
