Study Summary

The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to generate data on the impact of direct-to-consumer "telelactation" (virtual breastfeeding support) services. We will explore the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of these services. Postpartum mothers age 18 and older who have initiated breastfeeding will be recruited at a critical access hospital without access to IBCLCs in rural Pennsylvania and randomized into two study arms: 1) outpatient telelactation services via video calls on personal devices or 2) usual care. Data on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity, as well as perceptions and satisfaction with breastfeeding, will be captured via surveys and in-depth interviews and compared across groups.
