The research will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial and mothers in the intervention group will receive training on posture correction,breastfeeding positions, and shoulder and back muscle strengthening movements. If you agree to participate in this study, you will first be asked to fill out a form regarding your demographic information and health history.Then, the following scales will be applied to evaluate breastfeeding ergonomics, shoulder-back pain, and musculoskeletal system functions:Demographic and Health Data Form, Breastfeeding Ergonomics Scale, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain Assessment,Low Back Pain Function Scale, and Neck Disability Indicator Questionnaire. Mothers in the intervention group will receive training on body mechanics including posture awareness,breastfeeding positions, and shoulder and back muscle strengthening movements.The training will be conducted in the hospital and at 6 weeks and 3 months after discharge
