Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Educational video
Participants will receive an online video clip, explaining the benefits of breastfeeding.

After obtaining written informed consent, participants received a sealed envelope containing a preprinted paper referral to an online website, with a unique identifier.

After entering the online website, participants will be asked to enter the unique identifier they have received into a text box. Only those whose identifiers were predetermined to be associated with the intervention group will receive the intervention.

The intervention is twenty minutes long educational video clip, in which a brief discussion was presented, by an obstetrician, pediatrician, dietitian, and a breastfeeding consultant, each presenting the benefits of breastfeeding for mother and newborn.
