Summary
This study from the University of Florida will give parents of toddlers in daycare three different thermoses to send breastmilk in. Parents and daycare providers will fill out weekly surveys about any problems, and staff will check the milk's temperature at lunch and snack time to see if it stays safe. The goal is to find out if thermoses are a reliable way to provide breastmilk to children ages 1 to 3 in daycare settings.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that using a thermos is a practical way for parents to provide breastmilk to toddlers in daycare, supporting continued breastfeeding beyond age 1.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study (15 participants) that only tests temperature and user satisfaction. It does not measure health outcomes, so results may not change guidelines or practices.
