Summary

This study tests whether early kangaroo mother care (skin-to-skin contact) helps first-time mothers breastfeed more successfully and feel more confident as moms. About 112 mothers who had a vaginal birth will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or extra kangaroo care sessions during the first 24 hours after birth. Researchers will measure breastfeeding success and how mothers see themselves in their new role.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Kangaroo Mother Care (skin-to-skin contact)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve breastfeeding success and help new mothers feel more confident in their role.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 112 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may vary widely.
