The study\u2019s sample included 14 mothers who met the inclusion criteria.

Based on the data gathered from the interviews, 4 main themes were identified: basic life needs (with sub-themes of housing, warmth, nutrition, hygiene\/sanitation, sleep, and clothing), emotional difficulties (with sub-themes of shock, fear, crying, and stress), care difficulties (with sub-themes of challenges in accessing medication, constipation, diarrhea, reduced comfort, and decreased urine output), and breastfeeding difficulties (with sub-themes of breast rejection, breast engorgement, baby feeding issues, reduced milk production or interruption, and privacy concerns).<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1935789325100803_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>From the onset of the earthquake, mothers encountered significant challenges in breastfeeding their infants.
