In contrast, the post-test results showed a substantial improvement in knowledge levels. Following the educational intervention, 152 mothers (91 .6%) achieved adequate knowledge. Also A highly significant association was found between family income and knowledge level (χ² = 22.128, df = 6, p = 0.001)& a statistically significant association between age and pre-test knowledge level (χ² = 12.254, df = 4, p = 0.016), a significant association between duration of breastfeeding and knowledge level (χ² = 11.746, df = 4, p = 0.019). Conclusion: The study concluded structured teaching program is effective in improving the knowledge level of managing breastfeeding problems.
