NCT ID NCT06277856
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether new mothers (first-time moms) who share a hospital room with an experienced mother feel more confident about breastfeeding. 128 mothers took part. The experienced mothers had successfully breastfed before and received brief training. The study measured breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding rates. The goal is to see if this simple peer support program can become a routine part of hospital care.
