Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to determine the influence of an intervention in women based on a free mobile application (LactApp®) on maintaining breastfeeding (BF) up to 6 months postpartum. This is an experimental, multicentre, prospective study with a control group comparing the duration of BF. It will be carried out in the Health Departments of La Ribera, Xàtiva-Ontinyent, Castelló and Extremadura in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Women will be randomly assigned to each of the parallel groups. In the control group, the usual clinical practice will be followed from the third trimester of gestation to promote BF. In the intervention group, the woman, in addition to the usual clinical practice, will use a free mobile app: LactApp®, from the third trimester until 6 months postpartum. The type of breastfeeding at birth, 15 days, 3 and 6 months postpartum, and the causes of cessation of BF in both groups will be monitored. Socio-demographic data and the woman's reported outcomes will be collected during the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum process. The mobile app will report data on use, topics consulted and usage times. The null hypothesis is that the ¨LactApp®¨ mobile application does not improve breastfeeding maintenance at 6 months postpartum compared to routine clinical practice.
