Summary

Immediately after cesarean birth, many women suffer from breastfeeding problems due to pain, fatigue, activity intolerance, anesthesia, and delayed onset of lactation. Because of these avoidable problems, the baby cannot get enough breast milk, and mothers' postpartum comfort decreases.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of reflexology on lactation and postpartum comfort in primiparas giving births through cesarean section.
