This type of research is quasy experimental with posttest-only research design and statistical test using independent T-test. The samples in this study were 20 postpartum mothers who gave birth by section cesarean (SC) on the second day which were divided into 2 groups, 10 breastfeeding in a side lying position and 10 people in a football hold position. The study was conducted in the Mawar Room of the TK .IV Army Hospital from January to May 2021. The results showed that the average post-section cesarean wound pain in the side lying position group was 4.40 ± 1.075, while in the football hold breastfeeding group was 3, 8 ± 1.033. The results showed that there was no difference between side lying position and football hold on post section cesarean wound pain (p = 0.219). It is recommended that the hospital which is the place for post-cesarean section care for mothers can guide the mother to breastfeed on the second day of the post-cesarean section.
