Baby Yoga Sleep Maternal Attachment Breastfeeding

The randomized controlled type study was conducted with 150 mothers and mothers who gave birth in the Haseki Training and Research Hospital Postpartum Service between February and February. The mothers included in the study were randomized 1:1 into 2 groups. The mothers of the babies in the intervention group were sent a "Baby Yoga" video shot by the researchers and asked to practice them at least 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Data are obtained with Data collection form, Mother-Infant Attachment Scale, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form and Baby Sleep Diary.

This study was conducted in a randomized controlled type to examine the effect of infant yoga practiced by mothers on infants' sleep duration, maternal attachment and breastfeeding. The enrollment, assignment, follow-up and analysis steps of the trial were demonstrated using CONSORT 2018 (Updated Guidelines for Reporting Randomized Parallel Group Studies).

While the population of the study consisted of mothers and babies who gave birth in the Haseki Training and Research Hospital Obstetrics Clinic, the minimum sample number was calculated using G Power. Accordingly, it was found that the number of samples to be taken was 68 for each group, a total of 136 mothers and their babies. Considering that there would be losses, the sample was planned to be 150 mothers and their babies, 75 for each group.

Data Collection Tools The data of the study were obtained by using the Data Collection Form, Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, Mother-Infant Attachment Scale, and Sleep Diary.

Data Collection Stages Stage 1: 150 mothers and their babies who met the sample selection criteria were included in the study in the first postpartum week. Mothers were randomized into two groups as intervention and control. Data Collection Form, Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, Mother-Infant Attachment Scale, and Sleep Diary were administered to all mothers.

Stage 2: Intervention Group: A mother-baby yoga video prepared by the researchers was sent to the mothers in the intervention group. Before the mothers yoga practice, a 10-minute training was given about mother-baby yoga. Mothers were asked to do yoga at least 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Counseling and follow-up of the process were carried out by a researcher by calling the mothers once a week.
