Mother's Milk Messaging: Evaluation of a Bilingual Application (APP) to Support Initiation and Exclusive Breastfeeding in New Mothers

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breastfeeding

In brief

This study is being conducted to evaluate the breastfeeding support program utilizing bilingual English-Spanish tailored text messages and online support to support exclusive and continuous breastfeeding for new mothers--comparing texting alone, texting with an online support group to those with usual care. The cost involved in moderating the online groups and providing bidirectional consultation when needed will be evaluated and qualitative feedback from a subset of mothers in both intervention groups will be evaluated to determine what was effective, as well as suggestions for improvement of the messaging program.
