Summary

Breastfeeding initiation among mothers of low birth weight (LBW) infants is crucial for neonatal health but poses significant challenges. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of nursing-led telemedicine lactation support versus in-person lactation support on breastfeeding initiation rates in mothers of LBW infants. The study will utilize validated tools such as the LATCH scoring system, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to assess outcomes. By evaluating these two modalities, the research seeks to inform best practices for lactation support, particularly in settings where in-person care is limited.
