Official title

Effect of Laid Back Breastfeeding Position on Breastfeeding Experience Among Multiparous Women

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of laid back breast feeding position on breastfeeding experience among multiparous women. The main questions it aims to answer are; * Do postpartum women who feed their babies in a laid-back position report a better breastfeeding experience than those who use the cradle position? * Do postpartum women who feed their babies in a laid-back position report greater breastfeeding comfort than those who use the cradle position? Researchers will compare breastfeeding in laid-back position to cradle position to see if postpartum women who feed their babies in a laid-back position have better breastfeeding experience and comfort Participants will: * Have educational sessions on breastfeeding in laid-back position during antenatal visit of the 3rd trimester * Will be followed by the researcher for any clarifications about the educational content of session * Will be asked to apply laid-back position after giving birth, so, the researcher evaluate its effect on breastfeeding experience and comfort.

Detailed description

Cesarean sections are major surgeries that can cause pain and complications, making early breastfeeding initiation less likely compared to vaginal birth. This is problematic because early breastfeeding has significant health benefits for both mother and infant. Breastfeeding outcomes after C-sections are often worse, including delays, more difficulties, and shorter duration.

A common cause of these problems is inadequate breastfeeding technique. The laid-back breastfeeding position is a simple method that relies on the mother's intuition and the baby's natural reflexes, requiring little professional guidance.

This study used a quasi-experimental research design. It will conducted at the antenatal outpatient clinic and inpatient wards of Mansoura University Hospital. The study involved a total of 168 participants. Pregnant mothers in intervention group will be trained to breastfeed their infants using the laid-back position.

Interventions

  • Other Laid-Back position training
    This intervention is a structured training session for pregnant woman on the use of the laid-back breastfeeding position after birth. The training is designed to be delivered in a single, standardized session by the researcher during the last trimester of pregnancy to be applied within the first 24 hours post-cesarean delivery.
  • Other Standard Postpartum Care
    Postpartum mothers who receive structured training and support on the laid-back breastfeeding position

Primary outcome measures

  • Breastfeeding Experience Scale (BES) [Time frame: 1st time for assessment will be within 24 to 48 hrs after giving birth. 2nd time for assessment will be one week after birth.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Maternal comfort during breastfeeding (MCRS) [Time frame: One week after delivery]
