NCT ID NCT07396415
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether video or phone calls with a breastfeeding counselor can help first-time mothers breastfeed longer, feel more confident, and have fewer symptoms of postpartum depression. About 100 new moms will either get standard care or extra telehealth support. The goal is to see if remote counseling makes a real difference for mothers and babies.
