Brief summary
With the planned study, it was aimed to determine the effect of finger feeding method on newborns in term babies.
Detailed description
It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study design. Full randomization will be performed and infants who meet the inclusion criteria will be assigned to groups by flipping a coin. On the toss of a coin, if heads came up then subject was allocated to the control group. If tails came up, then subject was allocated to the intervention group. This procedure was repeated for each mother. Within the scope of the study, Informed consent will be obtained from the parents for infants who need formula supplementation or for infants fed with expressed breast milk by the decision of the Physician in the experimental and control groups. Babies in the control group will continue to receive routine care and no intervention will be made on their feeding style. The researcher will be informed verbally and practically about the finger feeding method and the application steps to the mothers of the babies in the experimental group and to the family members who will support their feeding in baby care. In this direction, it will be ensured that expressed breast milk or formula support is given by finger feeding method.
