Summary

This study tests whether taking a daily warm shower (37-39°C for 10-15 minutes) during the first three days after a cesarean birth can reduce maternal exhaustion and fatigue, and increase breast milk production. Sixty-four first-time mothers who had a cesarean delivery will be randomly assigned to receive either standard postpartum care or standard care plus a warm shower each day. Researchers will measure burnout, fatigue, signs that milk is coming in, and how much milk the baby gets.

warm shower
What this could lead to
If effective, a simple warm shower routine could help new mothers feel less exhausted and produce more breast milk after cesarean birth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 64 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. The effect may be modest or no better than standard care.
