Conclusion and implications for practice
milk insufficiency
No statistically significant differences were identified in terms of the mean score of maternal concerns, breast concerns, milk insufficiency concerns, neonatal concerns, process concerns, and breastfeeding experience between those who breastfed in the laid-back position, and those who breastfed in the cradle position at either 1 or 2 weeks following childbirth. Thus, these two breastfeeding positions evidentially have the same effect on the breastfeeding experience of primiparous (cisgender) women. Consequently, it is better to offer choice in breastfeeding positions and individualized approaches. Fundamentally, general breastfeeding education and counseling are more effective in optimizing success in breastfeeding than education on any one breastfeeding position in particular.
