Dear Respectable Editor  
 
Have a Good Day  
 
Thank you too give me the opportunity to r eview the revised version of the manuscript entitled 
(Effect of prenatal counseling on breastfeeding self -efficacy and frequency of breastfeeding 
problems in Mothers with Previous Unsuccessful Breastfeeding: A randomized controlled 
clinical trial).  
 
The man uscript improved too much after revision by the native English speaker as the authors 
mentioned and the authors mentioned their outcome in the abstract section. In addition, the 
authors presented the actual P value in the manuscript and the introduction sh ortened. Authors 
also, added the strengths and limitations of their study. The revision made by the authors 
accepted from my opinion and I accept the manuscript for publication with out any suggested 
changes from my side.
