Filter by:This research is being done to understand better how a mother's emotional well-being and lifestyle, such as her levels of stress, fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep quality, and eating habits, might affect the levels of melatonin and sIgA in her breast milk.
The study aims to establish lysine requirements using the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) method in women exclusively breastfeeding a single infant aged 3-4 months, and how maternal lysine needs change once infant transition to complimentary feeding at a later age of 9-10 months. Each 8-hour study day will have an assigned test lysine intake ranging from deficient to excess. The diets will be provided in a complete protein shake format, meeting all nutrient requirements except for the test lysine intake. Breath samples evaluate the indicator's oxidation to determine protein synthesis in response to lysine intake. Urine and one blood sample will be collected to assess metabolite concentrations.
This study aimed to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given to mothers who gave birth vaginally using motivational interviewing technique on breastfeeding motivation, self-efficacy and attachment. The study will be conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled trial.
This study evaluates the efficacy of a "breastfeeding toolkit" card delivered as part of antenatal care in promoting breastfeeding maintenance.
The study is a randomised controlled trial designed to determine the effect of the Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding Programme on maternal breastfeeding awareness, breastfeeding attitudes and breastfeeding continuation among mothers who have given birth by caesarean section. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding programme using the "Mindful Breastfeeding Scale" and "Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale". The research will use stratified and simple randomisation methods. Research data will be collected from mothers who gave birth by caesarean section at the gynaecology clinic of the Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Health Application and Research Center of between April 2024 and December 2025.
This study was planned to determine the effect of emotional freedom technique (EFT) on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy in primiparous women in the early postpartum period who had a cesarean delivery.
This clinical trial aimed to determine the effect of breastfeeding education using a doll during pregnancy on newborn feeding. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Breastfeeding education using a doll has a positive effect on breastfeeding competence scores. 2. Breastfeeding training using a doll has a negative effect on the breastfeeding competence score. 3. Breastfeeding training has a positive effect on infant feeding in the postnatal period. 4. Breastfeeding education hurts infant feeding in the postnatal period. Prenatal data collection tools will be applied as a pretest. One group will receive prenatal breastfeeding training with a doll and a written brochure. The control group will receive verbal breastfeeding education and a written brochure. After the birth, breastfeeding will be performed. Then a posttest will be conducted using data collection tools. The effect of applied breastfeeding education given with a doll on infant feeding and breastfeeding self-efficacy will be determined. In addition, the effectiveness of the training material will be tested.
Breast milk is considered the gold standard for infant nutrition thanks to its ability to provide adequate nutrition and a high amount of protective factors for the baby's health. According to the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), exclusive feeding with breast milk should be conducted until the end of 6 months of life and should be continued in the following months with the simultaneous introduction of complementary foods. Several evidence demonstrates that breast milk intake is associated with positive health outcomes, both during infancy and later in the life. Given the protective role of breast milk for the health of the child and the future adult, studying its content is of fundamental importance to have an integrated vision of the biological effects of its components on the child health, and of the factors that are able to modulate its composition. The "Building a Deeper Knowledge on Breast Milk Composition" (BuKoBc) project was designed to study the content of human milk in its entirety and at different times during the feeding and day, also in relation to environmental factors capable of modulating its composition. The results of this study may provide data on optimal reference ranges for nutrient intake in breastfed infants and may provide guidance for defining optimal nutrient intake for infants who cannot be breastfed. Furthermore, the in-depth study of the environmental factors capable of influencing the composition of breast milk will allow the development of nutritional intervention strategies for the breastfeeding mother in order to positively modulate the composition of her milk.
This study was planned to determine the effect of the emotional liberation technique on breastfeeding in women experiencing motherhood sadness.
H1-1 Hypothesis: Warm pads applied to the breast during episiotomy repair in the intervention group will have an effect on increasing milk production compared with the control group. H1-2 Hypothesis: Warm pads applied to the breast of the intervention group during episiotomy repair will have an effect on increasing breastfeeding motivation compared to the control group. H1-3 Hypothesis: Warm pads applied to the breast of the intervention group during episiotomy repair will have an effect on reducing the mother's perception of insufficient milk compared to the control group.
