First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether listening to positive affirmations along with classical music during a cesarean section could lower anxiety and improve breastfeeding. 99 women were split into three groups: one listened to affirmations with music, one listened to music only, and one had standard care. The goal was to see if this simple, non-drug approach could help new mothers feel calmer and breastfeed more successfully.
