What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate a breastfeeding support program designed for mothers who deliver by cesarean section. Cesarean delivery can affect early breastfeeding, mother-infant contact, and maternal confidence due to factors like pain and delayed mobility. The study focuses on whether the support program improves mothers' confidence in breastfeeding and strengthens bonding with their babies during the early postpartum period. The program involves two phases for the intervention group. First, in-hospital support during the first 48 hours includes personalized breastfeeding education, hands-on guidance, and the use of digital materials accessed via QR codes. Mothers also receive a gift package to encourage breastfeeding confidence in social settings. After discharge, the program continues with daily motivational text messages for 28 days and individualized telephone counseling on day 15 and at the end of the first month. The control group receives routine postpartum care without additional support. Participants will be randomly assigned to either group and monitored through baseline and follow-up assessments using breastfeeding self-efficacy, mother-infant bonding, and breastfeeding effectiveness scales. Researchers will observe breastfeeding behavior, maternal confidence, and bonding during the first month postpartum. The study includes data collection through questionnaires, telephone follow-up, and analysis of changes over time to determine the program's impact.
