Summary

This study tests whether a home-based teaching program helps mothers care for their low birth weight babies. About 72 mothers in Erbil will learn about keeping babies warm, breastfeeding, hygiene, and infection control. Researchers will check if babies gain more weight and stay healthier after the program.
