Summary

This study tests whether a web-based counseling program can improve breastfeeding experiences and care competence in first-time mothers of preterm babies born at 30 weeks or later. Half of the 56 participants receive access to an online platform with educational videos and the ability to ask questions, while the other half continues with standard hospital care. Researchers measure changes in breastfeeding experience and caregiving confidence over one month.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a web-based breastfeeding counseling and infant care program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could help mothers of preterm infants feel more confident and have a better breastfeeding experience.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 56 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. The program's success depends on internet access and engagement.
