Summary
This study looked at whether letting a newborn instinctively crawl to the mother's breast right after birth helps with breastfeeding success and the mother's comfort. Researchers observed 80 first-time mothers and their healthy, full-term babies after vaginal delivery. The goal was to see if this natural behavior, called breast crawling, improves breastfeeding confidence and comfort compared to standard hospital practices.
