The primary aim of this study was to determine the effect of kangaroo mother care on breastfeeding success in the early postpartum period. The secondary aim was to determine the effect of kangaroo mother care on the vital signs of the mother and the baby.
From the selected sample, assignments to the intervention and control groups will be made by stratified block randomization method and randomizer.org website. Since it is predicted that mothers' previous breastfeeding experiences may affect breastfeeding success, mothers will be stratified in terms of the number of births (first vaginal birth/ two vaginal births). After stratification, block randomization will be performed and mothers will be assigned to the intervention and control groups with similar characteristics.
