Abstract: Background: Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants. It is also an integral part of the reproductive process with important implications for the health of mothers. Objective of the study: This study is attempted to determine the effectiveness of breastfeeding positioning interventions to minimize fatigue among primi postnatal caesarean mothers during breast feeding. Material and methods: The study adopted a quantitative research approach and a quasi-experimental research design. A structured interview questionnaire was used for assessing the effectiveness of breast feeding positioning interventions to minimize fatigue among 60 primi postnatal caesarean mothers during breast feeding, selected by using convenient sampling technique in postnatal wards of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam. Data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in the software package named SPSS 20 version. Result of the study: The study revealed that in experimental group pre-test majority 23 (76.7%) of participants had severe fatigue and 7 (23.3%) had moderate fatigue where in post-test majority 16 (53.3%) of participants had severe fatigue, 12 (40%) had moderate fatigue and 2 (6.7%) had mild fatigue. The effectiveness of breast feeding positioning intervention to minimize fatigue among primi postnatal cesarean mothers during breast feeding in experimental group. Findings revealed that mean pre-test score was 55.17?6.428 and in post-test mean score was 46.70?10.99 with mean difference was 8.46.
