Boosting breastfeeding confidence in teen moms: a new approach put to the test
NCT ID NCT07025265
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a program designed to help adolescent mothers feel more confident about breastfeeding. The program includes two face-to-face education sessions, supportive text messages, a home visit after birth, and phone counseling. Researchers will measure changes in breastfeeding self-efficacy and attitudes among 60 teen mothers, comparing those who receive the program to those who don't. The goal is to see if this extra support can improve breastfeeding outcomes in this high-risk group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A behavioral intervention combining theory-based antenatal education, supportive text messages, a postpartum home visit, and telephone counseling to enhance breastfeeding self-efficacy and attitudes.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could help adolescent mothers breastfeed longer and more confidently, improving health outcomes for both mothers and babies.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small (60 participants) and early-stage, so results may not apply broadly. Success depends on participant engagement and follow-up, which can be challenging in this population.
