Study Summary

Every year, 1 million women cease breastfeeding (BF) before 6 months, the minimum time required for optimal maternal and infant health, development, and well-being. The highest rate of BF cessation occurs within 3 weeks after birth, with 30% of women ceasing BF due to acute breast and nipple pain (BNP). BNP is a complex and understudied biobehavioral phenomenon involving nociceptive signaling that stimulates multiple pain pathways. Women who experience BNP beyond BF initiation report lower BF self-efficacy, a key predictor of BF at 6 months and increased maternal distress symptoms contributing to differences in early BF cessation rates. The investigators developed and tested their 6-week nurse-led and participant-informed, Breastfeeding and Breast and Nipple Pain Self-Management (BSM) intervention guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory. Aligned with the needs and preferences elicited from BF participants, the investigators used a cloud-based platform to deliver BF knowledge and skills and provided support through nurse-led text-based communication to decrease BNP, increase BF self-efficacy, decrease burdensome face-to-face visits, and increase adaptive coping behaviors. Participants in the BSM intervention group reported significantly reduced BNP intensity at 1 and 2 weeks which predicted increased BF self-efficacy and decreased anxiety at 6 weeks. Based on these promising results, the investigators propose to examine the efficacy of the BSM intervention in an R56NR020041 Randomized Control Trial (RCT), Promoting Self-Management of Breast and Nipple Pain Using Technology (PROMPT) for Breastfeeding Women to decrease BNP intensity and interference and increase BF exclusivity. The study will reproduce and extend the pilot findings by exploring in a diverse population of BF participants how participants' pain sensitivity affects BNP. The study will explore the moderating role of BNP, and maternal well-being symptoms of fatigue, depressive symptoms, a
