Breast milk alone can meet all the elements necessary of babies during the first 6 months. However, some problems prevent breast milk from being taken, including concern about milk insufficiency, hyperlactation, clogged milk ducts, engorgement, mastitis, painful, injured/cracked nipples, flat or inverted nipples. As there is insufficient nipple projection in mothers with flat or inverted nipples, it has been reported that babies have difficulty latching on to the breast and have problems breastfeeding. Also, it has been found that mothers with nipples shorter than 7 mm need more support. Many interventions are recommended to solve flat or inverted nipple problems. In our study, a device developed for flat or inverted nipples was used by researchers. Thisa device developed for flat or inverted nipples was developed by researchers based on their experience and literature. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of the device developed for flat or inverted nipples for mother just already giving birth on nipple length, baby's attachment to the breast and breastfeeding duration, "LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool" scores and and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding time in the first 6 months. The hypotheses of the study are as follows: (H1): Nipple length of mothers in the intervention gorup is longer. (H2): Babies in the intervention gorup would have a shorter attachment time on the breast. (H3): Babies in the intervention group have a longer duration of one breastfeeding. (H4): The LATCH breastfeeding diagnosis and evaluation score of the intervention group is higher. (H5): Babies in the intervention gorup have a longer exclusive breastfeeding time.
