Summary

This study tests whether giving structured breastfeeding education to grandmothers during pregnancy helps new mothers breastfeed exclusively and feel more confident. The trial includes first-time mothers and their mothers or mothers-in-law, comparing grandmother education to father education or standard care. The goal is to see if involving the older generation in a positive, informed way can improve breastfeeding rates and duration.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
structured breastfeeding training for grandmothers
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could increase exclusive breastfeeding rates by involving supportive family members.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-country study, and results may not apply broadly. Grandmothers' influence can also be negative, and education may not overcome cultural or personal barriers.
