About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial on the Impact of Antepartum Breast Milk Expression on Breastfeeding Rates in Patients With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

This study proposes a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial involving primiparous women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) carrying singleton pregnancies. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either a control group or an intervention group.

The control group will receive standard prenatal care followed by routine postpartum breastfeeding guidance.

Read more

In addition to the standard care provided to the control group, the intervention group will receive one-on-one midwife-led manual breast milk expression training at the breastfeeding clinic. They will begin manual expression twice daily starting at 37 weeks gestation.

The primary outcome will compare exclusive breastfeeding rates at 3 months postpartum between groups through postpartum follow-up assessments to evaluate the impact of antenatal milk expression on breastfeeding success in GDM patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • milk expressionProcedure or surgery

    Following one-on-one antenatal manual colostrum expression instruction by a midwife at the breastfeeding clinic, participants will initiate twice-daily practice from 37 weeks gestation onward, performing 3-5 minutes of manual expression per breast per session (total duration ≤10 minutes per session).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing milk expression in people with Gestatiaonl Diabetes Mellitus, run by Peking University First Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ye Feng, M.D. (8618001203634, fengye_bjmu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Exclusive breastfeeding rates at 3 months postpartum (time frame: 3 months postpartum). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Aug 2025.
