No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to search for a relationship between maternal depression in the third trimester, as indicated by a score of \> 12 on the EPDS, and a choice not to breastfeed at all, defined as no breastfeeding after dismissal from the hospital. The investigators hypothesize that women who screen positive for prenatal depression will be significantly less likely to breastfeed their babies after discharge from the hospital following childbirth.
