Objective: It was aimed to evaluate the healthy nutrition attitudes of mothers and to examine the relationship between nutritional attitudes towards their children. Materials and Methods: The sample of the descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study consisted of mothers who met the inclusion criteria between 05 June-05 August 2021 (n=233). The data were collected using the mother information form, the Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN) and the Mother’s Attitudes Towards the Feeding Process Scale (MATFPS).The questionnaires created were distributed online via social media due to pandemic measures. Results: The mean total scores of the mothers in ASHN and NATFPS were 83.862 ±9.158 and 61.660 ±18.929, respectively. It has been determined that variables such as mothers' age, education and income levels, nutritional behaviors, and children's age affect nutritional attitudes and behaviors, but there is no significant relationship between mothers' nutritional attitudes and their attitudes towards feeding their children (r= -0.040 p= 0.545). Conclusion: It was concluded that the mothers in the study had a less level of knowledge about healthy nutrition, they have partially a negative attitude towards the nutrition of their children, and there was no relationship between their own nutritional behaviors and the behaviors they displayed towards their children.
