Lactation Education Study in Mothers of Very Low Birth Weight Infants
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Instructional digital video disc (DVD) for Infant, Very Low Birth Weight and Lactation. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will test the effectiveness of breast milk expression discharge instructions in digital video disc (DVD) format for home use by mothers of very low birth weight infants on the dose and duration of mother's breast milk feeding in their infants compared to breast milk expression discharge instructions in printed format. The investigators hypothesize that infants whose mothers receive breast milk expression discharge instructions via DVD will receive a larger dose of maternal breast milk and for longer duration during the initial neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization than infants whose mothers receive discharge instructions in printed format.
