Materials and Methods: In this study, detailed bibliometric analysis was executed utilizing the Biblioshiny application from the bibliometrix package, alongside RStudio and VOSviewer tools. A search within the Scopus database, employing the keywords "neonatal," "neonatal health," "breastfeeding," and "nurse," identified 317 articles published across 145 journals between 2014-01-01 and 2024-01-01. The analysis encompassed variables such as the annual publication rate, three-parameter analysis, journal publication count, author influence, keyword analysis, thematic assessment, factor analysis, and the status of countries and organizations. Results: Analysis of the authors reveals "Spatz DL" as the most prolific contributor to the literature. Among journals, "Breastfeeding Medicine" leads in publication volume. The study "Effectiveness of a Nurse-Led Intensive Home-Visitation Programme for First-Time Teenage Mothers (Building Blocks): A Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial," by Robling et al., is the most cited. International collaboration was quantified at 15.77%. The United Kingdom and the USA are the foremost in international collaborative efforts. Furthermore, the USA is the nation with the highest publication output. "Cardiff University" and "University of Sydney" have distinguished themselves through high research productivity. The network map identifies "breastfeeding, human milk, infant, breastfeeding support" as the most frequently occurring keywords. Conclusion: This study delivers an extensive overview of the breastfeeding process in newborns and the nurse’s function in its management, underscoring the issue’s global relevance. By pinpointing the overarching trends, international partnerships, and present research deficiencies in scientific investigations concerning newborns and breastfeeding, it forges a strategic blueprint to direct forthcoming research. Scrutinizing the trends within existing literature will further bolster nursing practices via evidence-based principles and foster the advancement of pertinent healthcare policies.
