NCT ID NCT07560553
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving moms extra education about breastfeeding before they give birth helps them breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 weeks. About 196 first-time or less-experienced mothers will take part. Researchers will compare breastfeeding rates between those who get the extra teaching and those who don't.
