Summary
This pilot study tested a phone app designed to support breastfeeding specifically for African American and Black mothers and their partners. Twenty participants used the app, with some receiving text message reminders to encourage engagement. The goal was to see if the app was easy to use and whether text nudges increased how often mothers opened it.
