Effect of Combined Skin-to-Skin Contact and Kangaroo Care on Breastfeeding and Bonding in Cesarean-Born Newborns
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of consecutive skin-to-skin contact applied by the mother and father on breastfeeding parameters and parent-infant bonding in babies born by cesarean section. The study includes two groups: an intervention group receiving consecutive skin-to-skin contact by the father followed by the mother, and a control group receiving routine postnatal care. Breastfeeding success and parental bonding will be assessed using validated measurement tools during the early postnatal period and follow-up.
