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.
