NCT ID NCT07341256
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a short, face-to-face education session for fathers right after birth can improve how they support breastfeeding. Researchers will enroll 240 fathers of healthy newborns and compare those who get the session to those who receive routine care. They will measure paternal support and whether babies are exclusively breastfed at 1, 3, and 6 months.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that involving fathers with a short education session boosts breastfeeding rates and family support.
