Summary

This trial tests whether a breastfeeding education program paired with a web portal and mobile app can reduce the feeling of having too little milk — a common reason mothers stop breastfeeding early. Pregnant women in their final weeks will either receive the digital support package or standard hospital care. Researchers will track their milk supply perceptions, breastfeeding intentions, and adaptation over six months after birth.

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 combined with a web portal and mobile application-supported counseling
What this could lead to
If effective, this digital support model could help more mothers feel confident about their milk supply and continue breastfeeding longer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 62 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention relies on smartphone access, which may limit its reach.
