Summary

Breastfeeding is good for the health of both mother and baby, but many women do not breastfeed, or do not breastfeed for as long as the participant would like. The purpose of this study is to compare two types of interventions on how each impacts breastfeeding. The interventions will be given during the third trimester of pregnancy, and the intervention is individual (i.e., one therapist and one participant). The first intervention is Motivational Interviewing, a type of counseling. The second intervention, or "control group," is education on how babies grow and develop. There general aims of this study are to compare women in the Motivational Interviewing group and control group on how the participants plan to feed the babies, how much the participants learn about and the participants opinions about breastfeeding, and how much the participants learn about how babies grow and develop. In addition, the groups will be compared as to whether the participants start breastfeeding, and how the participants are feeding the baby when the baby is one month old.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a psychosocial intervention designed to help individuals increase readiness for behavior change by increasing intrinsic motivation and resolving ambivalence. MI founders MI conversations help clients change behavior through identifying and resolving discrepancies between goal behaviors and actual behaviors. Behavior change is promoted through the elicitation of "change talk," or client-verbalized arguments for change. In MI, change talk is elicited through two major components: the therapeutic relationship, or the embodiment of the "spirit" of MI, and technical skill.

BEHAVIORAL

Psychoeducation Control

Psychoeducation on infant development, age 0-15 months, brief education on breastfeeding.
