First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

The goal is to see if educating dads can improve breastfeeding rates.

- Web-based breastfeeding education program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that online training for fathers helps increase breastfeeding rates and family support.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 68 participants, so results may not apply widely. The education is behavioral, not a medical treatment.
