Research Abstract	The purpose of this research is to develop a support scale "The Couple Version" to continuation of breastfeeding. Husbands of women, who were breastfeeding, were interviewed about supporting wives to continuation of breastfeeding. From the interviews, I developed a questionnaire of 64 items. Then, a questionnaire survey was conducted in 200 wives and husbands. The 3 factors and 18 items in wives and 2 factors and 13 items in husbands were clarified in a factor analysis. I will continue the questionnaire survey and confirm the reliability and validity of the support scale.
