The establishment of postnatal mother–infant bonding is important for a healthy mother–infant relationship. Our research was designed to detect the reliability of the Turkish-language versions of the Brockington Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PPBQ) and the Taylor Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS) in mothers at the second month postpartum. 189 mothers were enrolled in the study. Following adaptation of the scales to create Turkish versions, their reliability and validity were analyzed. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale (EPDS) was used for comparison. There was a positive correlation between the EPDS and the PPBQ, and between the EPDS and the MIBS. Cronbach’s alpha for the EPDS was 0.78, for the PPBQ 0.75, and for the MIBS 0.61. These findings suggest that the Turkish versions of both scales are reliable in mothers at the second month postpartum. Anahtar Kelimeler : bağlanma, anneye bağlanma, güvenirlik.
