ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a special support program designed to help first-time mothers (called primipara mothers) with breastfeeding. The goal is to see how this program affects mothers' confidence in breastfeeding, their attitudes towards it, and any challenges they face. Mothers who participate will receive guidance and support through an interactive model that encourages healthy behaviors. Their experiences and feelings about breastfeeding will be assessed at different points during the study to track any changes.

To join the study, mothers need to be first-time parents, have a baby due between 32-40 weeks, and be able to communicate easily. They should also own a smartphone and have completed at least primary school education. However, mothers with certain health issues or complications that could impact breastfeeding, as well as those undergoing fertility treatments, will not be eligible. This trial will compare the outcomes of mothers receiving the support program to those getting standard care, helping researchers understand the benefits of this tailored approach.
