In the literature, music plays an energizing, soothing, stimulating and awakening role for the newborn, and at the same time, music has the potential to wake up a lethargic and withdrawn baby and calm a crying, restless baby. In addition, it is stated that relaxing music in the early postpartum period supports breastfeeding behaviors of mother and baby. It is stated that lullabies positively affect the newborn's relaxation, falling asleep, and mother-baby communication. however, it facilitates sleep due to its monotonous, emotional and repetitive melody structure, slow tempo and relaxing effect. The sound called white noise is a humming, monotonous and constantly used sound that suppresses the disturbing sounds coming from the environment and has a calming feature. In the literature, it has been found that white noise played to infants with colic reduces crying.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of lullabies and white noise music played during breastfeeding of the newborn on newborn stress, breastfeeding success and mother's comfort. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with term newborns 24 hours after birth.
The hypotheses are presented below;
H1- White noise music played during breastfeeding reduces newborn stress compared to the control group.
H2- White noise music played during breastfeeding increases breastfeeding success compared to the control group.
H3- White noise music played during breastfeeding increases comfort of the mother compared to the control group.
H4- Lullaby music played during breastfeeding reduces newborn stress compared to the control group.
H5- Lullaby music played during breastfeeding increases breastfeeding success compared to the control group.
H6- Lullaby music played during breastfeeding increases comfort of the mother compared to the control group.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control group | No Intervention | The women will fill out an descriptive characteristics questionnaire, which include questions such as age, education and employment status, number of pregnancies and children etc. Mothers will be asked to mark before breastfeeding on their comfort on the Visual Analog Scale. The number "0" on the scale indicates that it is not comfortable at all, and the number "10" indicates that the comfort is complete.The baby's stress level will measure with the "Newborn Stress Scale" before breastfeeding. While the mother is breastfeeding her baby, the breastfeeding process will be evaluated by the researcher with the "LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool". Baby's stress level will be evaluated at the 1st minute of breastfeeding with the "Newborn Stress Scale". After the breastfeeding process is completed, the mother will be asked to fill out the "Visual Analog Scale" again to evaluate her comfort. | |
| Lullaby group | Experimental | The women will fill out an descriptive characteristics questionnaire. Mothers will be asked to mark before breastfeeding on their comfort on the scale. The baby's stress level will measure with the "Newborn Stress Scale" before breastfeeding. Before the mother starts breastfeeding her baby, lullaby music will be turned on to help the baby relax during 2 minutes. During the breastfeeding process, music will be played to the baby and mother for approximately 15 minutes. The baby will be observed by the researcher at the first minute of breastfeeding, and the Newborn Stress Scale will be filled in again. The LATCH assessment will be done within the first 15 minutes of breastfeeding. After breastfeeding is over, they will be asked to fill in the "Visual Analog Scale" in order to evaluate the comfort of the mother. |

| breastfeeding success in white noise group | At the 15th minute of breastfeeding in white noise group, breastfeeding success will be evaluated using the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool. LATCH is a breastfeeding charting system that provides a systematic method for gathering information about individual breastfeeding sessions. The system assigns a numerical score, 0, 1, or 2, to five key components of breastfeeding. Each letter of the acronym LATCH denotes an area of assessment. "L" is for how well the infant latches onto the breast. "A" is for the amount of audible swallowing noted. "T" is for the mother's nipple type. "C" is for the mother's level of comfort. "H" is for the amount of help the mother needs to hold her infant to the breast. |
