Study Summary

This trial will study whether a breastfeeding support intervention delivered over video calls can improve breastfeeding rates and reduce disparities in outcomes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals over 18 years old, living in areas with few lactation consultants, who are pregnant with their first child and plan to try breastfeeding. It's not for those advised against breastfeeding due to medical reasons, incarcerated individuals, or if the baby will be separated from the parent post-birth.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests 'telelactation' support provided via video calls on personal devices to help improve breastfeeding rates. Participants will be randomly chosen through a pregnancy tracker app and receive guidance from certified lactation consultants.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves non-medical professional advice through telecommunication tools, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in this trial.
