Özet
This study aimed to examine the relationship between newborn characteristics and breast milk nutritional content. The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 46 mothers and babies. The data were obtained by the data collection form created by the researcher. On the 1st, 5th and 15th day after delivery, a 2 ml breast milk sample taken from the right breast by hand milking method was analyzed with Miris HMATM device and newborns were weighed with Neck weighing device. The mothers in the study group were 28.6 ±5.5 years old, 60.8% gave birth by cesarean section, 65.2% of the babies were male, the mean gestational age was 38.9±1.1 weeks, the mean birth weight was 3389±406.4 g and according to the Lubcenko curve, 82.6% of the babies were on the scale appropriate to gestational age. It was found that there was a significant positive relationship between the baby's weight and breast milk macronutrients. There was a significant positive relationship between the baby's head and chest circumference and breast milk macronutrients (p<0.05).In repeated measurements, it was found that the amount of carbohydrates and fats in breast milk gradually increased and the protein decreased.
