NCT ID NCT07713160
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
