The aim of this study is to compare the macronutrient content of mature milk obtained from mothers using three different methods: hand milking, manual pumping and electric machine. This study, which was conducted with an experimental design, included 31 mothers who met the sample criteria. The macronutrient content of mature milk obtained from mothers with term babies using three different milking methods was examined by providing the highest level of standardization in the sample. A nutrition plan was applied to the mothers three days before milk samples were taken and on the milking days. Milk was milked from the mothers according to the three different methods specified in the randomization one day apart. Data were obtained with the Introductory Information Form, Breast Milk Information Form, Breast Milk Follow-up Form and Daily Food Consumption Record Form. Frozen milk samples were analyzed with Miris® HMATM to determine protein, fat, carbohydrate and energy values. Data were analyzed using the R programming language version 4.4.1.
