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.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to support new mothers in their breastfeeding choices.
