Breastfeeding Support and Weight Management for Black Women

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breastfeeding, Weight Loss

In brief

This study, in African American mothers in Detroit, will test an intervention that combines home visiting by experienced peer counselors with a smart phone-based weight control program. The investigators are trying to help mothers breastfeed their babies longer, and also help them get back to the weight they were before they were pregnant. This trial will help the investigators to guide policies in the state of Michigan and has the potential to improve the health of both mothers and babies everywhere.
