Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether the Uriclarity Program is effective in reducing the perception of insufficient milk supply (PIM) in postpartum women. The study also aims to evaluate the feasibility of implementing this program as a lactation support strategy. The main research questions are:

Does the Uriclarity Program reduce the perception of insufficient milk supply among postpartum women? How does the program impact breastfeeding confidence and adherence to exclusive breastfeeding? Researchers will compare the Uriclarity Program to standard postpartum lactation counseling to determine its effectiveness.

Participants will:

Receive either the Uriclarity Program intervention or standard lactation counseling within 24-48 hours postpartum.

Be evaluated on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 postpartum using the PIM questionnaire to assess changes in perception.

Engage in follow-up via WhatsApp support groups (for the intervention group). This randomized controlled trial will provide evidence on whether the Uriclarity Program can effectively reduce maternal concerns about milk supply and support exclusive breastfeeding.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Uriclarity Program

The Uriclarity Program is a behavioral lactation support intervention designed to reduce the perception of insufficient milk supply (PIM) in postpartum women. The program consists of a two-hour hands-on training session delivered within the first 24-48 hours postpartum and a WhatsApp-based follow-up support system. During the in-person training, participants learn essential breastfeeding techniques, how to recognize normal lactation patterns, and how to use the Uriescala Ashiyama, a self-monitoring tool that evaluates neonatal urine color to assess milk transfer. Right after hospital discharge, participants receive virtual support including educational videos. This intervention differs from standard lactation counseling by integrating self-monitoring strategies, community-based digital support, and a non-technology-dependent educational approach, making it a scalable and sustainable strategy for breastfeeding promotion.
