First seen Feb 14, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at how early childhood experiences—like breastfeeding, stress, and social factors—affect children with sickle cell disease. Researchers will work with 20 mothers of infants with sickle cell disease in Birmingham, Alabama, to see if a community-based breastfeeding support program helps mothers breastfeed longer and improves children's health. The goal is to find ways to build resilience and better health outcomes from the start.
