Abstract
Breastfeeding offers benefits beyond simple sustenance and is essential for fostering
the health of both mother and child. The breastfeeding experience involves a multifaceted
combination of emotional, physical, and social elements that deeply affect the well-being of
both mother and child. For first-time mothers, these complexities often present distinct
challenges that may affect their capacity to begin and continue breastfeeding. In order to
enhance the health and well-being of mothers and their infants, this study is to investigate
the special experiences of first-time mothers and to comprehend the significance of
breastfeeding.
A qualitative research design was employed, guided by the Husserlian
phenomenological method. In addition to examining how experiences from before
pregnancy to after giving birth may have affected their confidence and ability to breastfeed,
the study also looked into emotional, psychological, physical, financial, and social factors,
including the existence or lack of support networks.
Seven first-time mothers between the ages of 13 and 40 who had given birth in the
previous or current year were the participants. They resided in the municipalities of
Valencia, Bacong, Sibulan, and Dumaguete, under Metro Dumaguete. Purposive sampling
was used to ensure participant relevance, and face-to-face interviews were done. Ethical
clearance was obtained, and informed consent was secured from all participants; parental
consent and assent letter were obtained for minors.
