Message and Nurse
Participant will receive the usual care provided by the nursing staff at Catholic Medical Center. A lactation consultant or childbirth educator attempts to call each patient within 2-3 weeks prior to discharge. Only one call is made, and a message left if the patient would like to call back.
Participant will receive the usual care, and in addition, will receive four standardized electronic messages weekly for six months postpartum. These will be one-way messages without the option to respond.
Participant will receive the usual care as well as the four standardized electronic messages/week for 6 months. Two of these weekly messages will be two-way, providing the option for the participant to respond "yes" to an offer to have a nurse call them. A nurse phone call if requested will be provided with a week.
