| Inadequate Milk Perception Scale | The scale developed by McCarter-Spaulding and Kearney in 2001 consists of 6 questions to determine inadequate perception of breast milk. The first question questioning whether the mother perceives her milk as sufficient or not is in the form of 'yes' or 'no'. The other 5 questions aim to measure the perception of inadequacy of milk and are scored between 0-10. '0' indicates that milk is perceived as completely inadequate and "10" indicates that milk is perceived as completely adequate. The scale is scored between 0-50. A high score indicates an increased perception of milk sufficiency. | pre-test |
