Grandparent-informed breastfeeding support for new mothers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial targets healthy first-time mothers in their late pregnancy and their family support network. It delivers structured breastfeeding training to grandmothers and fathers and embeds ongoing support within the family environment for the first 40 days postpartum. The study aims to see if this family-centered education increases early breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding rates compared with standard care. Findings may inform community or hospital-based programs that involve extended family in lactation support.
