Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a culturally adapted intervention, the Teté Dance, on the breastfeeding duration of irritable infants. Participants will be mothers of infants experiencing irritability during feeding. The study involves comparing two groups: an intervention group practicing the Teté Dance and a control group receiving standard breastfeeding support. Researchers will assess breastfeeding session duration over a seven-day period to determine whether the Teté Dance helps extend feeding times. Participants in the intervention group will receive guided sessions from trained facilitators in a community setting, while the control group will continue with usual care. By focusing on culturally sensitive practices, this research aims to provide a low-cost, practical solution for improving breastfeeding outcomes in resource-limited settings. Participants will be evaluated for eligibility based on specific criteria, including willingness to participate and the infant's health status. Results from this trial may contribute to global breastfeeding support strategies.
