NCT ID NCT07724509
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
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.
