Milk Compositions of Mothers Who Breastfeed as Tandem

The impact of tandem breastfeeding on the health of mothers and babies is a matter of curiosity. It is stated in the literature that there are few studies that examine the results of tandem breastfeeding in terms of mother, newborn and other baby after birth, and that there are no negative consequences of breastfeeding in terms of mother, newborn and older baby at two different ages. Research shows that while it is possible for mothers to continue breastfeeding by counselling to them based on evidence-based information, most of them have ended breastfeeding. It is the responsibility of nurses to make this process more successful and seamless for both mothers and babies. In tandem breastfeeding, the nurse should advise the mother on her own feeding and breastfeeding, and should refer her to her physician if she considers it necessary. There is no clear and up - to-date source showing changes in mother's milk over time (24-72 hours-one month), production time (colostrum and mature milk), changes in milk composition in tandem breastfeeding in the current literature, and this study is original with this aspect.
