The Introductory Information Form is a 15-item survey form prepared by researchers based on the literature. The Introductory Information Form includes 10 questions on socio-demographic characteristics of pregnant women and their partners and 5 questions on obstetric characteristics of pregnant women.

Postpartum Milk Expression and Amount Information Form aims to be evaluated by researchers by asking 8 questions to the intervention group and 6 questions to the control group. The questions were prepared by the researcher. There are statements that need to be measured quantitatively and recorded by the researcher.

The scale, whose Turkish validity and reliability was confirmed by Akçay and Demirgöz Bal in 2019, was published by Stockdale et al. in 2013. PBMS is a 37-item scale developed to evaluate the postnatal breastfeeding motivation in primipara. The scale has four sub-dimensions of "The value placed on breastfeeding", "Self-efficacy", "Perceived support from the midwife" and "Expectation of success". High scores from the scale indicate high breastfeeding motivation, low scores indicate low breastfeeding motivation.

The scale, developed by McCarter-Spaulding and Kearney in 2001, consists of 6 questions to determine the perception of insufficient breast milk. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was conducted by Gökçeoğlu and Küçükoğlu in 2014. The first question of the scale asks whether the mother feels that her milk is sufficient, and is answered with 'yes' or 'no'. Other questions on the scale aim to measure the perception of milk inadequacy. These questions are scored on a scale from 0 to 10 ('0' means the milk is perceived as completely inadequate, '10' means the milk is perceived as completely sufficient). The scale can produce scores from 0 to 50, and a higher total score indicates an increasing perception of milk adequacy.
