Summary

An online home-based breastfeeding peer support programme is proposed to support mothers who are giving birth to their first-born. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this programme in improving breastfeeding practices among women with low breastfeeding self-efficacy. It is hypothesized that participants who received online home-based peer support will exclusively breastfeed for longer duration, have higher breastfeeding self-efficacy, and lower post-partum depression symptoms when compared to those receiving only standard care.
