One-Stop baby visit may boost breastfeeding success
NCT ID NCT06395168
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining a baby's first checkup after leaving the hospital with a lactation consultation helps more mothers breastfeed longer. About 246 mothers who plan to breastfeed will either get the combined visit or separate visits. Researchers will track breastfeeding rates at several points up to 12 months after birth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Combined Newborn and Lactation Visit
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a single combined appointment makes it easier for new mothers to start and keep breastfeeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study at one health system, so results may not apply everywhere. It only looks at breastfeeding rates, not other health outcomes.
