NCT ID NCT07474402
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a multi-component breastfeeding support program for mothers who gave birth by cesarean section. The program includes education, counseling, and follow-ups to help mothers feel more confident about breastfeeding and improve mother-baby bonding. Researchers are recruiting 100 first-time mothers who delivered by C-section and are exclusively breastfeeding.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multi-Component Breastfeeding Support Program (behavioral intervention: education, psychosocial support, video, message, telephone follow-ups, and individualized counseling)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could help new mothers feel more confident about breastfeeding and strengthen the bond with their baby after a C-section.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. The program is behavioral, so individual responses may vary.
