Study Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized, multi-centered, two-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study will enroll postpartum mothers experiencing delayed onset of lactation. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio using block randomization to receive either Lactare Plus® capsules combined with standardized non-pharmacological breastfeeding support or matching placebo capsules combined with standardized non-pharmacological breastfeeding support. This design will allow evaluation of the efficacy and safety of Lactare Plus® in augmenting lactation compared to placebo when both groups receive identical structured non-pharmacological breastfeeding support.
