Summary

This study tests whether a program that encourages and supports breastfeeding can help women who quit smoking during pregnancy stay smoke-free after giving birth. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either breastfeeding promotion (including education, counseling, support, and financial incentives) or general pregnancy and infant care advice. The study tracks smoking relapse, breastfeeding rates, and health outcomes for both mother and baby.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

breastfeeding promotion (education, counseling, support, financial incentives, limited formula)

What this could lead to

If it works, this approach could help many women avoid returning to smoking after giving birth, reducing health risks for themselves and their infants.

What could go wrong

This is a single trial with 280 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is complex, and it may not be enough to prevent relapse in all women.
