Summary

This study tests a breastfeeding support program for mothers who give birth by cesarean section. The purpose of the study is to see whether the program helps mothers feel more confident about breastfeeding and improves mother-baby bonding.

Conditions

  • Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy
  • Mother-Infant Attachment
  • Breastfeeding Consultancy Training
  • Primigravida Women

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Breastfeeding Support Program

In my thesis, the multi-component breastfeeding support program was applied to address a gap in the literature. Altay and Sarıalioğlu (2024, Breastfeeding Medicine, 19(12):947-956) showed that baby soothing training for primiparous mothers significantly improved maternal role perception, attachment, and breastfeeding self-efficacy (p\<0.001). However, experimental studies simultaneously evaluating breastfeeding education, psychosocial support, video, message, telephone follow-ups, and individualized counseling are limited. Therefore, my study provides strong causal evidence using an experimental design. The sample size (n=100) is larger than many existing studies, and the study uniquely combines three measures: self-efficacy, bonding, and LATCH.
