Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, the effects of an exercise program aimed at increasing breast milk on breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding success, and breast milk quantity will be evaluated.
Detailed Description
The research is a randomized controlled trial. The research will be conducted with 122 mothers who are in their 8th week postpartum and have healthy babies. Mothers in the exercise group will be given 1 hour (60 minutes) of exercise to increase breast milk three times a week for 6 weeks. The control group will be given routine breastfeeding education. Data will be collected using a sociodemographic form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), LATCH- Breastfeeding Charting system, IMDAT: a tool for assessing the level of maternal milk intake scale.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Comparison of mothers' sociodemographic characteristics with survey before intervention
Time Frame: 3 months
Mothers' sociodemographic characteristics will be collected through surveys and compared and reported
Comparison of mothers' Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale averages by groups
Time Frame: 3 months
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be applied to mothers. Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale is 14-70 points (min-max) and as the score increases, it shows that mothers' breastfeeding self-sufficiency increases.
Comparison of mothers' LATCH- Breastfeeding Charting system averages by groups
Time Frame: 3 months
LATCH- Breastfeeding Charting system will be applied to mothers. LATCH- Breastfeeding Charting system is 0-10 points (min-max) and as the score increases, it shows that the mothers' LATCH score increases.
Comparison of mothers' IMDAT: a tool for assessing the level of maternal milk intake averages by group.
Time Frame: 3 months
IMDAT will be applied to mothers. IMDAT is 0-10 points (min-max) and the higher the score, the better the intake of breast milk.
