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.
