Summary

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding through age 6 months is the optimal infant feeding method due to lifesaving benefits for children and mothers (AAP, others). Exclusive breastfeeding in-hospital is critical because in-hospital formula supplementation doubles risk of non-exclusive breastfeeding at 30-60 days (Chantry et al, 2014). While breastfeeding initiation rates have increased at our inner-city Baby Friendly - designated maternity hospital, exclusive breastfeeding lags. CDC mPINC data (maternity practices in infant nutrition and care, 2015) demonstrate this is a national problem, with \>50% of surveyed hospitals endorsing supplementation of "10-49%" of breastfed infants.

Study Objective: The study objective is to evaluate acceptance/satisfaction of 2 prenatal interventions (breastfeeding champion and positive messaging) and to determine if these affect exclusive breastfeeding intention and practice.

Methods: In this prospective intervention study with follow-up chart review, we will pilot two 5-minute-long iPad-based interventions for 1 month each in obstetrical clinics, following a required 28-week obstetrical visit breastfeeding education. All expectant mothers (including 14-17 year olds with guardian) are eligible. Outcomes are acceptance (enrollment rate), satisfaction (Likert-based), impact on exclusive breastfeeding intention (pre/post query) and secondarily impact on exclusive breastfeeding in-hospital and at 2 weeks.
