New program eases breastfeeding fears in new moms
NCT ID NCT06857461
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a program called Uriclarity to help new mothers who worry they aren't making enough breast milk. 91 women from three hospitals in Peru took part. The program included a two-hour training session and follow-up support through WhatsApp. Researchers measured how the mothers' worries changed over two weeks. The goal was to see if this simple support could boost breastfeeding confidence.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Uriclarity Program (behavioral lactation support with hands-on training and WhatsApp follow-up)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could give new mothers a simple, low-cost way to feel more confident about their milk supply and support exclusive breastfeeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial in Peru, so results may not apply to other settings. The program relies on smartphone access, which not all mothers have.
