Özet

Our study explores the relationship between comfort and breastfeeding scores among 410 postpartum participants in Ankara, Turkey. We collected data through Lactation Rating System and a Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire. In our study, mean Lactation Rating System score was 8.33 ± 1.67 and Postpartum Comfort Questionnaire score was 122.06 ± 0.31. We found that mothers' successful breastfeeding was high and their comfort level was medium. We concluded that mothers’ comfort levels had an impact on successful breastfeeding.
