Summary

The purpose of this research study is to learn new things about how parents and others who care for babies think about sharing books with their baby and how they might respond to guidance from their doctors. The study involves participants filling out a survey with questions about a newborn baby and thoughts about the baby's development. The study should not take more than an hour and fifteen minutes during the delivery hospital stay and another 20 minutes at the baby's one month well child visit by phone or emailed survey link. Participants may also be interviewed and asked some questions about these topics. The conversation will be audio recorded, and should last no more than 30 minutes. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. The participant and their child will be randomized, like flipping a coin, to either receive the study intervention book, Cluck and Moo, along with standard or care or solely standard of care at your time of hospital discharge. The greatest risks to this study would be feeling uncomfortable about answering some of the questions and potential risk of loss of confidentiality.
