Investigation of the Effect of Mother's Nutrition Status on Breast Milk Contents

• Conditions: Breast Feeding
• Interventions: Device: milk analyzer; Behavioral: Mother's nutrition values

• Registration Number: NCT04158999
• Lead Sponsor: Halic University

Brief Summary

This study; this work; The aim is to investigate the effects of mothers' nutritional status on breast milk macro nutrients (carbohydrate, fat and protein).

Detailed Description

Macronutrients in breast milk can be affected by various factors. The mothers will be taken in the first 24 hours after birth and their nutritional habits, socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric characteristics of the mother, body mass index will be examined and newborn characteristics will be taken. 2 ml sample from colostrum will be analyzed with milk analyzer instrument. The mothers will be re-checked on the 5th day and their anthropometric properties will be obtained. The same procedure will be repeated on the 15th day after childbirth. At each control, the mother's last 24-hour feeding status will be taken and the nutritional values consumed by "BeBis" program will be examined.
