Complementary nutrition is considered a critical step not only for changes in nutritional requirements but also for the formation of life-long taste preferences, nutrition and eating habits that may affect health in the long run. While the microbiota is developing, in the early stages of life, the wrong food choice negatively affects the microbiota development and causes malnutrition. In this study, the effect of motivational interviews prepared according to the Health Behavior Interaction Model on microbiota awareness and infant feeding attitude will be investigated in primiparous mothers who will start complementary feeding.

-Microbiota awareness scale total score (The score range of the scale was defined as the lowest 18 points and the highest 100 points. The cut-off score was not specified in the scale. The high score obtained from the scale was evaluated as a high level of microbiota awareness. The draft form of the scale was developed as a five-point Likert type (1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=undecided, 4=agree, 5=strongly agree) and includes 27 positive and 2 negative statements.
