Summary

This study explored whether letting a newborn instinctively crawl to the breast right after birth improves breastfeeding comfort and confidence. 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, leads to better breastfeeding outcomes.
