The perception of insufficient milk is quite common in mothers during the postpartum period. Especially mothers who have given birth for the first time tend to external factors more due to lack of experience. Studies mention many nonpharmacological methods to prevent this. Some of these are hypnobreastfeeding, hot application, breast massage, aromatherapy. There are many studies on breast massage to increase milk to date. However, no study with cherry seed has been identified. By eliminating the deficiency in the literature and proving the effect of cherry seed breast massage on insufficient milk perception and lactation start-up symptoms, it will be ensured that breastfeeding is not terminated early, and this research is needed considering the perspective of improving mother and baby health by breastfeeding for the first 6 months. The study will be conducted in a single-blind randomized control design. The study will be conducted in Konya Medova Hospital. A total of 54 puerpera will be included in the study, including the cherry seed massage intervention group (18), the hand massage intervention group (18), and the control group (18). The study data will be collected using the Introductory Information Form, the Insufficient Milk Perception Scale, and the Visual Analog Scale (Vas) to Evaluate Mothers' Lactation Initiation Symptoms. The intervention group data will be collected in the first five minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours after birth. SPSS 23 (IBM, Inc., Armonk, NY, USA) program will be used in the analysis and evaluation of the data. The results obtained will be tested at a significance level of p\<0.05 and two-way.
