First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving breastfeeding education via podcast to mothers of preterm babies in the NICU improves their breastfeeding success, awareness, motivation, and confidence. Fifty-six mothers will be randomly assigned to receive the podcast or standard care. The goal is to help moms overcome breastfeeding challenges and better feed their preterm infants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- breastfeeding education via podcast
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, accessible way to support mothers of preterm infants in the NICU, improving breastfeeding outcomes and confidence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 56 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is educational, so it won't change medical outcomes directly.
