Summary

This study looked at whether involving fathers in breastfeeding support at different times (before and after birth) helps mothers feel more confident and improves how parents work together. Over 500 couples took part, with some dads getting involved early, some later, and some not at all. The goal was to see which approach works best for both mom and baby.

What this could lead to
