NCT ID NCT07430020
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a single 90-minute shared decision-making counseling session during pregnancy helps first-time mothers feel less conflicted about breastfeeding and improves how well they breastfeed. 112 pregnant women in Iran took part, with half receiving the counseling and half getting usual care. Researchers measured decision-making conflict and breastfeeding performance up to 60 days after birth.
