This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a mindfulness-based breastfeeding education program on breastfeeding outcomes among mothers who are not exclusively breastfeeding. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive a mindfulness-based breastfeeding education program in addition to routine care. Breastfeeding outcomes, maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, and related variables will be assessed following the intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding Education Group

A 4-week mindfulness-based breastfeeding education program was implemented, consisting of two individual sessions per week (50-60 minutes each) delivered by a trained midwife. The intervention combined breastfeeding education with mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, including breathing meditation, body scan meditation, sitting meditation, mountain meditation, and loving-kindness (Metta) meditation. Practical breastfeeding training was provided using a doll and breast model to support skill acquisition. Participants were also given audio-guided mindfulness exercises and a mindful movement/yoga video for daily home practice in addition to routine postpartum care.
