Abstract: This article presents a study conducted to address the pressing issue of breast complications among postnatal mothers during the early post - partum period. These complications often result in painful experiences and may lead to more serious conditions, such as cracked nipples, mastitis, and breast abscess, ultimately influencing premature weaning. The study employed a quasi - experimental design involving educational intervention to empower postnatal mothers in preventing and managing these complications. Sixty participants were selected from a tertiary care hospital in Bhubaneswar. Pre - test and post - test assessments were conducted, with educational intervention in between. The results revealed a significant increase in post - test knowledge scores compared to pre - test scores, suggesting a positive impact of the intervention. This study sheds light on the effectiveness of educational interventions in elevating awareness and knowledge about preventing and managing breast complications among postnatal mothers.
