Breastfeeding represents a cornerstone of public health in low- and high-resource countries. Nevertheless, health authorities and policy makers in high-resource countries rarely consider it a priority area. In high-resource countries, this practice has no short-term consequences because infant mortality is low. However, there are long-term implications of adopting measures to improve short-term exclusive breastfeeding and short-term breastfeeding. The World Health Organization (WHO) has clear evidence-based recommendations that exclusive breastfeeding should last for a minimum of six months, followed by breastfeeding and appropriate supplementary food, or supplementation, for two years or longer. This topic among breastfeeding / non-breastfeeding mothers is always current and pertinent, and opens up various attitudes and opinions that we have examined in research as a part of this thesis. A suvey questionnaire was used for the study, which is consisted of sociodemographic dana and questions related to personal experiences. The first research was conducted in 2018 with women living in Đulovac which comprehended only imigrants from Republic of Kosovo (100), second research was conducted in 2021 trough online survey on autochonous population of Republic of Croatia (2536). The paper also theoretically deals with breastfeeding and presents the issue of breastfeeding in the Republic of Croatia. Based on a comparative study in two different time periods, certain conclusions were drawn. The dana obitained werw analyzed int he SPSS 24 statistical program from IBM. This research presents frequencies, percentages, aritmetic means with standard deviations and Cronbach's alpha internail reliability coefficient for descriptive statistics. The aim od the study was to examine and compare the attitudes od breastfeeding women from Đulovac municipality and the indigenous population of the Republic of Croatia. The aim hypotheses, zero-hypoteses of this research were that there is no statistically significant difference in attitudes about breastfeeding depending on the area of residence (urban and rural area) and that there is no statistically significant difference in attitudes about breastfeeding between participants from Đulovac, immigrants from Kosovo, and participants in the research of the autochthonous population of the Republic of Croatia. The research shows that there is no statistically significant difference between rural and urban areas. While the second hypothesis conducted by the U-test showed that there is a statistically significant difference in attitudes about breastfeeding between participants from Đulovac-immigrants from Kosovo in the 2018 study and attitudes about breastfeeding among participants in this study. The average score on the scale is 69.40 +/- 10.46, which means the participants from Đulovac show more positive attitudes about breastfeeding than the indigenous population of the Republic of Croatia.
