Brief summary

The researchers planned this study to compare the effects of breast pumps, which are frequently used today, and manual milking after manual massage on the change in milk content when breast and breastfeeding problems develop.

Detailed description

Comparison of the methods used to solve the milk secretion and breastfeeding problems of the participants in the postpartum period; effective and uncomplicated methods should be put forward. Today, breast milk is expressed by hand using massage or pumps. Both milking techniques used have positive and negative aspects. While there are studies showing that breast milk content is affected by the milking techniques used, there are also studies showing that it does not. This study by the researchers was planned to compare the effects of post-massage pumps and manual milking on the change in milk content. For this reason, it is thought that the researchers will contribute to the literature scientifically and, since it is a doctoral thesis, it can be a guide for future studies on the subject.

Interventions

DEVICEmilking pump

n the study, all mothers who come to the Lactation/Relactation outpatient clinic will be informed about the study, and mothers who accept the study will have to fill out the Conformity to Criteria Form created by the researcher. Between the ages of 20-35, postpartum 1-5. Participants who gave birth after the 37th week of pregnancy, did not have literacy problems, mental disabilities and communication problems, did not have chronic diseases, did not use any medication, and volunteered to participate in the study will be included in the study. by milking, 2 ml of first milk will be taken from the participants in the control group (via the milking pump). The collected milk will be taken to the laboratory for analysis by the researcher.
