Mothers of preterm infants often face challenges that make breastfeeding particularly complex. Understanding mothers\u2019 breastfeeding experience is important for health care professionals, as it enables them to provide appropriate support and assistance. The qualitative evidence synthesis regarding the breastfeeding experiences of mothers of preterm infants in hospital settings is a valuable area of research that has not been documented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Inclusion criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review will consider all qualitative studies that explore mothers\u2019 experiences of breastfeeding and mother\u2019s own milk management for their hospitalized infants. Mothers of preterm infants who provide their own milk to their infants will be considered, regardless of their age, gravidity, parity, singleton\/multiple pregnancies, gender identity, marital status, social status, or preterm infant's gestational age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review will follow the JBI approach for qualitative systematic review. The search strategy aims to find both published and unpublished studies, with no date limit. A search of PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and Embase (EBSCOhost) will be undertaken to identify articles on the topic. Studies published in English will be considered for inclusion in this review. Two independent reviewers will evaluate the methodological validity of the selected papers before incorporating them into the review. Data synthesis will be conducted using the meta-aggregation approach, and synthesized findings will be assessed using the ConQual approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
