Abstract

This manuscript reviews the study titled "Importance of an educational intervention: knowledge, attitudes, and practices on breastfeeding". Strengths include the relevance of the topic, the quasi-experimental design, and the use of validated tools. However, areas for improvement were identified in sample size justification, the inclusion of a control group, and the clinical interpretation of the results. A major revision is recommended to strengthen methodological validity and the study’s applicability in public health.
