ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how an artificial intelligence (AI) tool, combined with support from nurses through online breastfeeding counseling, can help new mothers with breastfeeding. The goal is to see if this approach improves mothers' confidence in breastfeeding, their overall success in breastfeeding, their attitudes towards feeding their babies, and even their feelings of postpartum depression. By comparing the experiences of mothers who use this AI tool and those who receive traditional counseling, the researchers hope to find new ways to support breastfeeding.

To participate in this trial, mothers need to be pregnant with their first baby, at least 18 years old, and able to speak and understand Turkish. They should also plan to give birth at the hospital where they are receiving their pregnancy check-ups and have already received some breastfeeding training. Participants can expect to use a mobile app along with online support from nurses to help guide them through the breastfeeding process. It's important to note that certain conditions, such as having twins or other health issues, may exclude some mothers from participating.
