The study was planned as a randomized, parallel two-group, controlled experimental design. This research will be conducted between June 2021 and June 2022 with premature baby mothers. The sample of the study will be mothers (n = 62) of premature babies discharged from Antalya Training and Research Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The discharge routine procedures of all mothers participating in the study will be completed and a breastfeeding guide prepared for premature babies will be sent to the phone. On the 3rd day after discharge, a reminder message will be sent to support the mother in the intervention group (n = 31) and to encourage breast milk. Throughout the program, 21 messages will be sent to the mothers in the first month after discharge, via the messaging application (whatsapp, bip, telegram, etc.) In addition, seven phone calls will be made once a week in the first month after discharge, and once a month in the eighth, twelfth and sixteenth weeks. Data will be collected by Mother-Baby Introductory Information Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (short form) (BSES), Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) and Breastfeeding Time Assessment Form. The pre-test will be taken with the Mother-Baby Descriptive Information Form, BSES and IIFAS during the discharge routine procedures, and the post-test will be taken with the BSES, IIFAS and Breastfeeding Time Assessment Form when the baby is six months old. Ethics Committee and Institutional Permission was obtained for the study. In addition, written consent will be obtained from the participants. Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS 23.0 and significance will be evaluated at p <0.05. Support will be received in the analysis phase of the Statistical Information Unit of Akdeniz University. It is anticipated that new information from research data will improve breastfeeding results of premature babies and guide new research.
