The Effect of Relactation Support Program on Milk Release

"In our midwifery intervention, the mother was firstly educated about breastfeeding and relactation, using educational brochures prepared by the researchers. Afterwards, the mother was taught nipple stimulation, skin-to-skin contact and finger feeding method, and the first feeding of the baby was performed together with the mother. After this first intervention in the FHC, all interventions were performed at home. The follow-ups continued for 15 days with one day of telephone support and one day of home visit. Since the majority of mothers did not accept video calls (privacy, etc.), telephone support was provided only verbally."
