Purpose: One of the most ideal resources that can be used in cases where babies for any reason can’t feed their mothers’ milk is bank milk, and the knowledge and opinions of the healthcare staff are important in the maintenance of breast milk. Therefore, the study aims to identify the information and opinions of nurses, parents and doctors working in the fields of birth-woman health and child health about the breast milk banks. Instrument and Method: Definitive in Ankara and Malta. The sample consists of a total of 344 nurses, parents and doctors who have received illustrated approvals on the work in the units in which the application was carried out. The data, using the form developed by the researchers, was collected between February-October 2014. Results: 49.7% of participants are between 21 and 30 years of age, 64.5% are graduates, 50.3% are nurses, 23.0% are doctors. The average information score of nurses for breast milk banks is 3.39±2.40, the average information score of nurses is 3.33±1.84, the average information score of doctors is 5.50±2.56, and the average information score of doctors is significantly higher than the average information score of nurses and nurses (p<0.05).  The average attitude score of nurses (n=173) is 27.02±6.34, the adult (n=92)=24.29±5.98 and the doctor (n=79)=30.91±6.14. The average attitude score of nurses was statistically significantly higher (p<0.05), while the average attitude score of doctors was significantly higher (p<0.05) from both nurses and nurses. There is a statistically significant positive direction relationship between the participants’ information points on the breast milk banks and their attitude points (r=0.597, p=0,000). The result: it is recommended that the health staff be informed about the subject and that steps are taken to remove the obstacles to the establishment of breast milk banks in Turkey.
