Summary

This trial tests whether a breastfeeding education program built on a health-literacy strategy—helping parents access, understand, and use health information—can improve breastfeeding self-efficacy, paternal support, and overall breastfeeding outcomes. The program is delivered to both mothers and fathers of healthy term infants and compared with routine postpartum care. The study measures changes in parents' health literacy, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and support from fathers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a structured breastfeeding education program based on the Integrated Health Literacy Model, delivered to both mothers and fathers
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, scalable way to improve breastfeeding success and parental confidence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-site trial with 80 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program adds extra education sessions, which may not fit all families' schedules.
