Summary

1. The first aim of this proposal is to pilot the feasibility of weekly phone monitoring of infant feeding and illness patterns in a socio-economically and racially diverse population. Specifically, the investigators aim to estimate the rate of group loss to follow up from birth to 13 weeks (3 months) of age with weekly phone interview of mothers of late preterm (LPT, gestational age 34 0/7- 36 6/7 weeks gestation) infants.
2. The second aim is to describe breastfeeding and formula feeding practices, and rates of illness and post-discharge hospital care utilization, through age 13 weeks (3 months) among late preterm infants born at MacDonald Women's Hospital. The investigators estimate that the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among LPT infants at 3 months of age is less than the documented rate of 37% for all infants in Cuyahoga County.
