NCT ID NCT07541716
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a structured parenting support program for families with infants around 3 months old who have early problems with crying, feeding, or sleeping. About 200 families will either receive the program (individual and group sessions plus a mobile app) or usual care. Researchers will check if the program reduces parental stress and improves parents' confidence, and whether infant problems get better by 12 months of age.
