Key Words	Exclusive breastfeeding; Breastfeeding promotion; Mass communication; Maternal decision-making; Social media
Core Tip	Maternal breastfeeding decisions are influenced by multifactorial biopsychosocial determinants. Inaccurate information on social media may exaggerate potential difficulties in breastfeeding, promote the use of formula milk alternatives, or undermine mothers' confidence in their abilities to breastfeed. Addressing misinformation on social media channels is crucial for empowering informed maternal decision-making.
