Summary

This study tests whether therapeutic touch — a gentle, energy-based technique — can improve breastfeeding confidence, strengthen the emotional bond between mother and baby, and lower the risk of postpartum depression in first-time mothers. Researchers will compare a group receiving therapeutic touch after childbirth to a group receiving standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive practice can support new mothers during the critical postpartum period.

What this could lead to
If effective, therapeutic touch could become a simple, drug-free way to support new mothers' breastfeeding success, emotional well-being, and bonding with their baby.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 72 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. Therapeutic touch is a complementary therapy and its benefits are not yet proven.
