Telephone Support Intervention to Improve Breastfeeding

The intervention will consist of outreach telephone calls daily by bilingual trained nursing staff for the first 2 weeks postpartum using the scripted protocols developed for this program. Both groups will receive a small bag with reading materials, illustrations of breastfeeding positions and latch, hand breast pump, and lanolin cream. The intervention nurse will ask the mothers on their initial intake call for the best time to call each day to minimize time needed to reach the mother.
