Summary

This study tests whether structured skin-to-skin contact with the baby, plus lavender aromatherapy for the mother, can lower stress and improve breastfeeding after an elective C-section. 150 mothers will be split into three groups: routine care, skin-to-skin only, or skin-to-skin with lavender. Researchers will measure stress hormones, anxiety, pain, and breastfeeding success in the first hour after birth.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
lavender aromatherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help mothers feel less stressed and breastfeed more easily after a C-section.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. The effects may be small or not last long, and lavender may not help everyone. Results may not apply to all hospitals or cultures.
