Interventions
BEHAVIORALVideo clip
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.
