Sleep loss, breastfeeding motivation, and success in new mothers
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep loss in the first two days after childbirth affects new mothers' desire to breastfeed and how well breastfeeding goes. If you've just had a baby and have begun breastfeeding within 48 hours, this research may help understand your experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You had a healthy, full-term baby (not premature or needing intensive care)
- You started breastfeeding within the first 2 days after giving birth
