The study tests a digital intervention using text messaging to support infant feeding among WIC-enrolled mothers. It starts prenatally and continues until the baby is three months old. The goal is to promote responsive bottle feeding and longer exclusive breastfeeding.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a non-medical intervention (text messaging), there aren't typical side effects like with drugs; however, participants may experience increased screen time which could affect sleep patterns or cause mild eye strain.
