Keywords:

This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effect of a breastfeeding supportprogram with Line application on breastfeeding behaviors and the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at one month in adolescent mothers. The sample consisted of 46 mothers aged 10 to 19-years old who stayed in the postpartum ward at a tertiary hospital in Samut Prakan province. The experimental
group (n=23) received the breastfeeding support program plus routine postpartum care, while the control group (n=23) received only routine postpartum care. Data were collected using the demographic characteristics interview, B-R-E-A-S-T-Feed observation form, and the Infant's Feeding interview form. The study used descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, the Fisher Exact test, the Independent T-test, the Paired T-test, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, and the Z-test to analyze data.
The results showed that the mean score of breastfeeding behavior in the experimental group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group at .05 (t = 2.12). The exclusive
breastfeeding rate of the experimental group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group (Z = 2.88, p = .004). Some suggestions from that study are for nurse midwives to follow up on breastfeeding problems after discharge and give advice according to the problems of the mothers using an application promoting the success of exclusive breastfeeding.
