What this trial studies

This is an observational analytical study enrolling women aged 18 and older with healthy term deliveries who initiate breastfeeding within the first 48 hours. Researchers will measure insomnia severity, breastfeeding motivation, and breastfeeding success using the LATCH tool during the first 48 postpartum hours and examine relationships among these measures. The study will compare outcomes by mode of delivery (cesarean versus vaginal) and control for common postpartum factors. Participants with complications requiring sedation, severe hemorrhage, severe postoperative pain, or narcotic analgesics are excluded.
