NCT ID NCT07177664
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nurse navigation program, starting at 28-32 weeks of pregnancy and continuing until 6 months after birth, can improve breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation in first-time mothers. 100 women will be randomly assigned to receive the program or standard care. The goal is to see if personalized education and counseling can help new mothers feel more confident and motivated to breastfeed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nurse navigation program (breastfeeding education and counseling)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide a simple, low-cost way to help first-time mothers feel more confident and motivated to breastfeed, potentially improving breastfeeding rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. The outcomes are based on self-reported questionnaires, which can be biased.
