    Quince seed jelly, prepared by the researcher, was given to the mothers belonging to this group.

The prepared quince kernel was used for 3 days, immediately after cooling.14,15 On the 1st day postpartum, the researcher provided the mothers with practical training at the hospital, regarding the application of quince seed jelly to the nipple and areola and leaving it to dry. This training was repeated on the 3rd, 7th and 10th days, to ensure that the mothers followed it precisely. The training process was completed in 5-10 min, including questions and answers. Every 3-4 days (days 1, 3, 7 and 10), quince seed jelly prepared by the researcher was given to the mothers to continue applying, according to the procedure. The mothers were asked to apply it after every breastfeeding.

This training lasted 5-10 min. Breast milk application of mothers in this group was recorded on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 10th days, by the researcher.
