Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
