In order to ensure homogeneity in the groups, mothers were stratified as mode of delivery (Normal-Cesarean) and breastfeeding experience (Present-Non-existent). After the blocks were formed, the groups included in the study were randomly assigned to the strata with the letters A, B and C using the random numbers table obtained in the computer environment (www.random.org). Which letter would be in which group was determined by lot (A=Odor Stimulation, B=Odor+Taste Stimulation, C=Control Group)., primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, maskingDescription: According to the a priori power analysis with a pairwise hypothesis, effect size of 0.409, significance level of 0.05 and power of 0.80; it was determined that the inclusion of a total of 72 newborns (Odor Stimulation: 24, Odor+taste stimulation: 24, Control: 24) in the study would provide sufficient sample size.Inclusion Criteria; For the mother;* Having a term and healthy baby,* No communication and language problems,* No maternal illness preventing breastfeeding (active chemotherapy, HIV positive, neurological or psychological problems, etc.),* Willingness to breastfeed, For the baby;* Not having a disease condition that prevents breastfeeding (cleft palate, cleft lip, galactotemia, choanal atresia, etc.),* Being at normal birth weight (2500gr-4000gr),* Apgar score of 7 and above., whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, enrollmentInfo count: 72, type: ACTUAL, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Breast Milk Odor Stimulation, interventions name: Stimulation of Breast Milk Smell and Taste, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Introductory Information Form, primaryOutcomes measure: Early Feeding Tips Scale, primaryOutcomes measure: Breastfeeding Identification and Assessment Scale (LATCH), primaryOutcomes measure: Early Feeding Tips Scale, primaryOutcomes measure: Breastfeeding Identification and Assessment Scale (LATCH), primaryOutcomes measure: Early Feeding Tips Scale, primaryOutcomes measure: Breastfeeding Identification and Assessment Scale (LATCH), eligibilityModule sex: FEMALE, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 40 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Selcuk University, city: Konya, state: Selcuklu, zip: 42100, country: Turkey, geoPoint lat: 37.87135, lon: 32.48464, hasResults: False
