Masking description
Due to the nature of the study, researcher (ZGYD) and participant blinding cannot be performed because the mothers participating in the study know which group they belong to. Upon completion of the study, the data will be transferred to a computer environment and an independent statistician will analyse the data without knowing which group is the intervention group and which is the control group, and the findings will be reported.
