Breast Crawling,Breastfeeding Success and Mothers' Attitudes to Feeding Their Babies

It has been clearly demonstrated by the literature that the way of initiation of breastfeeding is highly correlated with the success and continuation of breastfeeding and the level of breastfeeding intention. Crawling to the breast is the reflex of seeking the breast by smelling the breastmilk of the newborn as the first form of breastfeeding. Although crawling to the breast is a studied subject in the international literature, it has remained only in the compilation stage in the national literature. The fact that research on breast crawling has not yet been conducted in our country constitutes the original value of this study. This study was planned to examine the effect of crawling to the breast after vaginal delivery compared to biological breastfeeding on breastfeeding success and mothers' attitude to feed their babies.
