Summary

This study tests whether private Facebook groups can help pregnant women and new parents follow safe sleep guidelines and breastfeed longer. About 3,000 participants from WIC or with low income will join either a support group or a control group. The goal is to reduce the higher rates of infant death seen in Black families compared to white families.
