This study was planned to examine the effect of telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up on physiological jaundice, exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months, infantile colic, maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, and breastfeeding success.
Hypothesis; H1: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects the development of physiological jaundice.
H2: Telephone support for breastfeeding monitoring affects exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months.
H3: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects infantile colic. H4: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy.
H5: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects breastfeeding success of mothers.
Social media communication is planned to be completed at the 36th or older gestational week, who will have her first or second birth.
Block randomization will be applied according to maternal age, the number of births, baby gender, and birth week. Age (3 groups) X number of births (2 groups) X baby gender (2 groups) X gestational week (2 groups) = 24 blocks
Through social media, women between the ages of 18-45, who will have their first or second birth at their 36th or older gestational week will be included in the study. The woman in the control and study groups will be given breastfeeding and baby care training with the help of the training booklet by video calling.

| Study group/Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up | Experimental | Study group: The women in the study group will be provided with a video call every day for the first week after discharge from the hospital, to provide consultancy to the mother on the matters she needs and to be recorded in the Baby Monitoring Form. The general appearance of the baby, observation during sucking, jaundice, drowsiness, reluctance to suck will be observed. The consultancy will be provided to the mother on these issues. In the following weeks, the consultancy will continue to be given to the study group by making a video talk one week apart. The researcher's phone will be given to the mothers in both groups and the incoming calls and their content will be recorded. |

| Control Group | No Intervention | Control Group: No additional attempt or routine call will be made to mothers in the control group. The researcher's phone will be given to the mothers in both groups and the incoming calls and their content will be recorded.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| breastfeeding success | LATCH Breastfeeding Assesment Scale: It is a measurement tool developed to evaluate breastfeeding. It was created to diagnose breastfeeding, to identify problems, to determine training accordingly, to create a common language among health professionals and to be used in studies. This measurement tool consists of the English initials of five evaluation criteria. Each item is scored between 0-2 points. The highest score is 10. | until discharge from the hospital an average 2 week |
| Infantile Colic | Infantile Colic Scale: It was developed to diagnose and evaluate colic. The validity and reliability study of the scale was done in Turkey. 12 Scale items are graded with Likert type scoring ranging from 1 to 6. | until discharge from the hospital an average 24 week |
| Maternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy | Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form: It is a 33-item scale to evaluate breastfeeding self-efficacy levels of mothers. Later, a 14-item short form of the scale was developed in 2003. It is applied more easily and evaluates self-efficacy correctly. Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form Scale is a 5 point Likert type scale. | until discharge from the hospital an average 24 week |
| rate of physiological jaundice | physiological parameter of jaundice | until discharge from the hospital an average 2 week |
| rate of exclusive breastfeeding | exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months | until discharge from the hospital an average 24 week |
