Brief Summary

The research is a randomised controlled experimental study. It was conducted to examine the effect of breastfeeding pillow on breastfeeding self-efficacy and postnatal comfort in primiparous puerperas who gave birth by caesarean section. The answers to the questions "Is the breastfeeding pillow effective on breastfeeding self-efficacy in primiparous puerperium giving birth by caesarean section?" and "Is the breastfeeding pillow effective on comfort during breastfeeding in primiparous puerperium giving birth by caesarean section?" are investigated.
