First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether using a smartphone while breastfeeding affects how long mothers continue to breastfeed. Researchers will follow 300 mothers who gave birth at Amiens University Hospital, checking in at 2, 3, 4, and 6 months after birth. The goal is to see if distraction from phones plays a role in breastfeeding success.
