The purpose of this study is to learn if group-based phone counseling is effective for increasing breastfeeding rates, reducing the early introduction of solids and increasing maternal weight loss after pregnancy.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
BMI (body mass index)

Participants will take part in weekly group-based phone counseling sessions for 6 weeks starting between 16-30 weeks of pregnancy.
Behavioral: Behavior Lifestyle Intervention
Participants will continue their usual prenatal care.
Other: Usual prenatal care
Participants will be involved in group-based counseling. Sessions will be about 1 hour each and comprise up to 10 people. The sessions will be led by a trained health educator. The calls will be a chance for participants to discuss challenges with breastfeeding, problem solving skills, educational information, and discuss balanced diet topics.
Also known as: Group-based phone counseling
Participants will receive the standard education given by their OBGYN or other healthcare provider. No additional breastfeeding, nutrition or postpartum weight loss education will be provided to participants by the investigators during pregnancy. After delivery, participants will follow normal pediatric visit schedule.

Subject satisfaction and acceptability of intervention
Structured interviews will be used to determine subject satisfaction. Structured interviews will obtain descriptive data regarding problems encountered by participants during the intervention, areas of intervention strength and weakness, information participants found helpful and information participants wish they had been given during the intervention, and ways the overall intervention could be improved.
Time frame: Week 24
Intervention compliance
Compliance rates will be calculated from participants that attend at least 66.6% (at least 4 sessions) of GBPC sessions.

Study Retention
Retention rates will be calculated from participants who complete feeding questionnaire data at 6 months.

Ran from Apr 2017 to primary completion in May 2019, 24 months.
Of 503 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Feeding, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23. This study's 24 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 511 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23.
