Summary

This study tested whether online home-based peer support helps first-time mothers with low breastfeeding confidence breastfeed longer and more exclusively. 442 Hong Kong mothers participated, receiving either standard care or extra support from trained peers. The goal was to see if this support increases exclusive breastfeeding rates and reduces postpartum depression symptoms.
