Predictors of Lactogenesis II

Completed

Conditions studied: Breastfeeding

In brief

The purpose of this study is to investigate what proportion of obese women will have a self-reported delay in lactogenesis II ("breastmilk coming in") compared to women with a normal weight. We hypothesize that obese women will have an absolute 20% increase in delayed lactogenesis II. We will compare two group of women for delayed lactogenesis II, one group with obese women (BMI\>30) and one group of women with a normal weight (BMI\<30). The secondary objective is to assess what other factors influence the self-reported delayed lactogenesis II.
