Breastfeeding is essential for infant health, yet mothers who undergo lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) often face difficulties initiating and maintaining successful breastfeeding. Oketani Breast Massage Therapy (OBMT) is a specialized technique that may improve lactation outcomes. OBJECTIVES:1. To evaluate the effect of oketani breast massage therapy for successful breastfeeding among LSCS mothers METHODOLOGY: The Quasi experimental study was used 100 lscs mothers by convenience sampling technique. IBFAT Score obtained information about breastfeeding of participants. This approach helps maintain the integrity and validity of the study results. Data analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics to describe and correlation between breastfeeding & to show the association between breastfeeding & demographic data. RESULTS: The post-test IBAT scores in the experimental group showed a significant improvement compared to the pre-test scores (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Oketani Breast Massage Therapy is an effective nursing intervention for enhancing breastfeeding success among LSCS mothers. Implementing OBMT in postpartum care could support lactation and improve neonatal health outcomes.
