This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a combination of peer counseling (from someone who speaks Spanish and has breastfeeding experience) and financial support can help Hispanic mothers who are eligible for WIC continue exclusively breastfeeding their babies. The research team wants to understand if having a trusted peer counselor visit your home regularly, plus extra money to help with breastfeeding costs, makes it easier to stick with breastfeeding during the first six months after birth.
Research shows that breastfeeding has many health benefits for babies, including helping prevent obesity later in life. However, not all mothers have the same support or resources to continue breastfeeding. This study is trying to find practical ways to help Hispanic mothers overcome barriers to breastfeeding by providing personalized support and financial assistance.

You would join during pregnancy and continue in the study for the first six months after your baby is born. If you're in the support group, you'll be paired with a Spanish-speaking peer counselor who visits your home weekly at first, then monthly as time goes on. You'll also answer brief weekly surveys about how breastfeeding is going (earning $8 per week), and research staff will measure your baby's weight and length a few times during the study. You may receive a $150 gift card or breast pump in the first month, plus extra money in months 2–5 if your baby is enrolled in WIC's breastfeeding package.
