Peer support for breastfeeding mothers facing hardship
This study tests whether extra support from another mother (a peer supporter) can help women who are facing serious financial or social challenges successfully breastfeed. If you are a new mother with a baby at HFME, want to breastfeed, and are struggling economically, this program may offer free, friendly help.
