About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of Ergonomic Practices on Quality of Breastfeeding Among Primiparous
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of ergonomic practices on quality of breastfeeding among primiparous.
Read the detailed description
Prolonged discomfort experienced during lactation can significantly impede a mother's adjustment to the maternal role. This discomfort arises from suboptimal body positioning and extended periods of sitting during breastfeeding and some mothers stop breastfeeding as a result of that. Consequently, the promotion of maternal comfort during breastfeeding will enhance the quality of breastfeeding, and this will be achieved by encouraging mothers to assume appropriate body mechanics, appropriate breastfeeding positions, and use breastfeeding pillows during breastfeeding. Therefore, the researcher will conduct the current study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
A LATCH score
A LATCH score of 0 to 3 is regarded as poor quality of breastfeeding, 4 to 7 is considered as moderate quality of breastfeeding, and 8 to 10 is considered as good quality of breastfeeding.
Measured: At two weeks and two, four and six months after delivery
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change in the growth chart of the infants
neonates of the intervention group will exhibit better growth than neonates of the control group
Measured: At two weeks and two, four, and six months after delivery
