The study was set in the neonatal unit of a university hospital in an eastern province of Turkey between June 2013-February 2014. Twohundred mothers,whose babies were hos-pitalized in neonatal unit, participated. The study included mothers who had no problem with breast-feeding, actively breastfed their infants, and clinically had a sufficient amount of milk. It was determined that mostly age group of mothers were 19-35 (91.5%); 39.5% were primary school graduates; a great majority of them (79.0%) were unemployed. The linguistic equiv-alence of the scale was primarily examined, and then its validity and reliability analyses were performed after confirming the linguistic equivalence. We conducted the language validity of the Perception of Insufficient Milk Questionnaire, which was adapted into Turkish. The following values were determined regarding the Turkish version of the Perception of Insuf-ficient  Milk  Questionnaire: Test-content  validity  index  0.87,  item  total  correlation  scores 0.70 and 0.87, retest correlation value 0.81, and a Cronbach α coefficient of 0.82. According to these results, it could be asserted that Perception of Insufficient MilkQuestionnaire is a valid and reliable assessment instrument for Turkish society.
