Özet
Aim: The study was conducted to assess the effects of mother-infant skin-to-skin contact (SSC) on breastfeeding. Method: The study samples were included 50 SSC and 50 control group which individuals selected by simple random sampling. All infants in the study group were placed on the naked breast of the mother in a prone position at birth and remained there for an average of 45-60 min under the supervision of the midwife. All mothers of this study and control groups were allowed at least 4 breastfeeding sessions at the postnatal 12-24 hour period then the LATCH Breastfeeding Charting System was completed. Results: The study and control groups included subjects similar in age, education, employment and obstetric characteristics. Statistically significant differences were determined between the study and control groups in respect of breastfeeding start time, to colostrum visibility after birth, problems experienced in breastfeeding, feeding the infant with nutrients other than breastmilk, and breastfeeding frequency (p<0.001). The LATCH Breastfeeding Charting System scores were meaned 9.70 +/- 0.64 points in the study group and mean 7.80 +/- 1.29 points in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the groups (p<0.000). Conclusion: These findings showed that skin-to-skin contact at birth had positive effects on breastfeeding.
