This study evaluates the efficacy of a "breastfeeding toolkit" card delivered as part of antenatal care in promoting breastfeeding maintenance.
The project is an evaluation of an intervention that will start on January 1 2024.
From January 1 2024 through to March 31st 2024 midwives will present to patients attending their 24 week antenatal appointment a breastfeeding toolkit card.
The trial compares breastfeeding rates across patients who receive the card and those whose 24-week antenatal appointment occurred in the three months October 1 2023 - December 31 2023.
1,081 studies on the registry are indexed under Breast Feeding; 217 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 200 is above the median of 100 across 844 interventional studies indexed under Breast Feeding.

Ran from Mar 2023 to primary completion in Oct 2023, 7 months.
Of 502 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Feeding, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23. This study's 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 510 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23.
