Summary

Background: While caesarean sections are increasing, breast-feeding rates are decreasing. It is important to implement supportive programs to ensure mothers breast feed for the desired period and infants are fed by only mother's milk.

Aim: In the research, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of lactation management models on mothers' breastfeeding process following a caesarean section.

Methods: The research was conducted as a randomized controlled study and experimentally. Before implementation, Lactation Management Model was developed. Data collection was performed during gestation, first day after postpartum, pre-discharge, on 9th day in face to face interview and in the form of monthly phone interviews up to 6 months. While the experimental group exercised lactation management model, control group received routine lactation practices in clinic.

Conclusions: Among the females in the experimental group, it was found that breastfeeding self-efficacy were higher, and breastfeeding techniques were accurate and successful and breastfeeding only and continuity rates were higher while breastfeeding related breast problems developed less frequently. Lactation management model should be used and expanded to increase breastfeeding rates.
