Summary
This study tested a compassion-based counseling program for first-time mothers. 54 pregnant women were split into two groups: one received 6 counseling sessions focused on self-compassion and mindful breastfeeding, while the other got standard care. Researchers measured self-compassion, mindful breastfeeding, and breastfeeding confidence before, during, and after the program. The goal was to see if this type of emotional support could improve the breastfeeding experience.
