INTRODUCTION: Despite the World Health Organization's recommendation for exclusive breastfeeding, Thailand's rate was only 14% in 2019. Many new mothers experience discomfort and lack confidence during breastfeeding. The novel Ing Oun breastfeeding pillow was developed to support breastfeeding in the side-lying position. This study compared breastfeeding effectiveness between the Ing Oun pillow and the normal side-lying position and evaluated maternal satisfaction.
METHODS: A proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial was conducted in a postpartum unit in Thailand. Ninety-two first-time mothers with vaginal births were randomly assigned to either the Ing Oun breastfeeding pillow in the side-lying position (intervention) or the normal side-lying position (control). Breastfeeding effectiveness was assessed by nurse-midwives and mothers based on infant positioning and attachment. Maternal satisfaction with the pillow was measured using a self-report questionnaire.
RESULTS: Compared with the control group, mothers using the Ing Oun breastfeeding pillow demonstrated significant improvements in breastfeeding effectiveness, including reduced nipple pain during suckling [median=3 (IQR: 2-4) vs 3 (IQR: 1-4), p<0.001], observing more areola above the infant's top lip [median=4 (IQR: 3-4) vs 3 (IQR:1-4), p<0.001], and improved support for continued suckling [median=4 (IQR: 2-4) vs 3 (IQR: 1-4), p<0.05]. Mothers in the intervention group reported high levels of satisfaction with the pillow, with 65.2% expressing confidence in breastfeeding.
CONCLUSIONS: The Ing Oun breastfeeding pillow shows potential as a breastfeeding support aid; however, further research is needed to refine its design and evaluate broader applicability.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study is registered on the official website of Thai Clinical Trials Registry.IDENTIFIER: TCTR20241016002.
