In this study, the effects of an exercise program aimed at increasing breast milk on breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding success, and breast milk quantity will be evaluated.
The research is a randomized controlled trial. The research will be conducted with 122 mothers who are in their 8th week postpartum and have healthy babies. Mothers in the exercise group will be given 1 hour (60 minutes) of exercise to increase breast milk three times a week for 6 weeks. The control group will be given routine breastfeeding education. Data will be collected using a sociodemographic form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), LATCH- Breastfeeding Charting system, IMDAT: a tool for assessing the level of maternal milk intake scale.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison of mothers' sociodemographic characteristics with survey before intervention | Mothers' sociodemographic characteristics will be collected through surveys and compared and reported | 3 months |
