“…llthough no previously published research has addressed the concerns of mothers who have breastfed preterm infants in the postdischarge period, a series of studies has focused on these concerns for mothers of healthy full-term infants (Chapman, Macey, Keegan, Borum, & Bennett, 1985;Cronenwett et al, 1992;Graef et al, 1988;Humenick &Van Steenkiste, 1983;Kearney, Cronenwett, & Barrett, 1990;Morgan, 1986). However, data from the research reported here suggest that mothers of preterm infants have somewhat different concerns than mothers of full-term infants.…”

Strong evidence supports breastfeeding as the appropriate health choice for both mothers and infants. However, the mechanics of breastfeeding are frequently less well understood. This review of both the research and clinical evidence regarding appropriate breastfeeding management is designed to aid the midwife and other health care professionals in providing care and teaching, which will optimize maternal and infant health.

“…This lack of information can be valid both for the mother's self-care and her infant (8). It is reported that in the postpartum period, mothers often receive information from their friends and relatives, and infant nutrition takes the first place among maternal concerns (8,9).…”

“…Breastfeeding is a significant contributor in terms of the cost for mother and infant, health promoter and disease preventer (9). The UNICEF and World Health Organization emphasise the vital importance of breast milk by stating that breastfeeding the infant within the first hour after birth prevents 22% of neonatal deaths, and within the first day prevents 16% (6).…”

ABS TRACT ÖZ Materials and Methods:Questionnaire forms designed on the subject of infant care and nutrition were given to mothers right after delivery. Before being discharged they were informed by the doctor and breastfeeding nurse about nutrition, infant care, and the most common mistakes. These forms were reapplied on the 15 th and 30 th days in neonatal polyclinic controls and the changes were evaluated. The correct information was repeated to the mothers who were detected to have misinformation and wrong attitudes in the evaluations in each form application period. Results: A total of 100 mothers and their infants were included in the study. No difference was determined in the nutrition rates of infants with food other than breast milk on the first day, 15 th and 30 th days. However, the breastfeeding rates obtained were higher on the 30 th day than on the 15 th , with an interval of two hours, and in general breastfeeding rates were low on the 15 th and 30 th days. The rates of bathing the infants with and without a bathtub net were determined to be high on the 15 th and 30 th days. The change in the infants' sleeping positions, the place of sleep, and the presence of rails/guards around the crib on the 15 th and 30 th days were not found to be significant compared to the 1 st day. There was a significant increase in the umbilical care rates on the 15 th and 30 th days. The increase in washing the clothes of the infants with soap powder, and the decrease in swaddling after the education were found to be significant. Furthermore, it was determined that the mothers received infant care information more frequently from the healthcare organisation
