Study Summary

This trial will test a mobile phone app to see if it can help mothers of critically ill infants in the NICU increase their breast milk production.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for mothers who plan to breastfeed their critically ill infants in the NICU and can't start bottle/breastfeeding within 14 days. They must own a mobile phone with text messaging, speak English, and be able to deliver milk to the NICU at least four times weekly. Mothers with drug use, breast surgery history, HIV, or those whose infants may not survive past one week are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests whether sending text messages that include biomarkers of adequate breast pumping can help increase the frequency of pumping and overall breast milk production for mothers of critically ill newborns.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves receiving informational text messages rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this clinical trial.

Number of breast pumping episodes

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Intervention groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Will be sent one message that includes general information pertinent to all mothers expressing BM for their infants and one personalized real-time biomarker based message which will include the sodium level contained in the BM since the previous message, the number of times pumped on those days and will either congratulate the participant on how well the is pumping BM for the infant or how many more times per day the participant needs to pump to decrease the BM sodium level and increase BM production

Group II: Control groupActive Control1 Intervention

Will only be sent text messages that include the same general lactation information sent to the treatment group
