Study Summary
Breastfed babies have significant health benefits extending beyond infancy, including lower rates of childhood obesity and infection. Mothers who breastfeeding also have health benefits, including increased rates of postpartum weight loss. Low-income women are less likely to breastfeed comparatively; this disparity may be due to misconceptions about breastfeeding benefits or poor social support. Based on survey results and focus groups of low-income women, the investigators designed a novel smart-phone application to confront barriers women perceived prevented them from breastfeeding and propose the first-ever randomized controlled trial describing the impact a smart phone app has on postpartum weight loss and breastfeeding rates among low-income women.
