DPP Feasibility Study of Breastfeeding - eMOMS 2.0

"The intervention will be administered by professionally trained, certified health coaches. Phase I consists of four 1-hour DPP-based sessions to be completed during pregnancy. Each session will be pre-recorded and archived on a secure, private mHealth application. Participants will be asked to complete each session on their own time. A health coach will follow up weekly via phone to check on progress and will work with the participant 1-on-1, if needed. Phase I will be completed by week 36 of pregnancy. Prior to delivery, participants are invited to a virtual focus group about their experiences.~Phase II consists of two 1-hour DPP-based sessions to be completed after delivery. Each session will be pre-recorded and archived on the same mHealth application. Participants will begin Phase II within 1 week of delivery with the same health coach. Phase II will be completed by week 12 postpartum. Upon completion, participants are invited to a virtual focus group about their experiences."

"Phase I also consists of six (6) breastfeeding videos that are pre-recorded into 15-20 minute sessions and will be available on the mHealth application. Participants will have access to the first 2 sessions by week 28 of pregnancy and need to complete the remaining 4 sessions by week 36 of pregnancy. Each session is taught by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).~Participants will receive 1-on-1 lactation support by the same DPP health coach. The health coach is a professionally trained Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS). She will assist participants with any questions related to lactation. If the health coach is unable to help with a specific issue, she will contact the IBCLC-of-record, who will provide assistance to the health coach only. If the health coach or IBCLC deems additional care necessary, the participant will be referred to their primary care physician. The IBCLC will not have direct contact with the study participants."

Participants will receive regular prenatal care provided by their physician. At delivery, all participants will receive some type of lactation support in the hospital.
