Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of yoga on the stress of mothers with babies with sleep and feeding problems, the mother-infant relationship, and the sleep and nutrition of the mother and the baby. 55 mothers with babies with sleep and feeding problems were included in the study. Mothers were randomly divided into two groups: yoga (n=29) and control group (n=26). Yoga training was applied to 29 mothers in the study group via video conferencing, 2 days a week, 1 hour a day for 8 weeks, while the mothers in the control group were given second evaluations 8 weeks after the first evaluation, without any intervention. Mothers were evaluated with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) for stress levels, with Parent-Child Containing Function Scale for the mother-infant relationship, with the Infancy and Early Childhood Feeding Process Mother'sAttitudes Scale for their attitudes towards the feeding process of their babies, and with Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN) for their own nutrition attitudes, with Pittsburg Sleep Quality (PSQI) for sleep quality and babies with Infancy Period Adaptive Eating Behavior Scale for feeding problems, with Brief Infant/Child Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) for sleep problems.
