ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial called "Project Sueño" is focused on understanding how mothers feel about feeding and putting their babies to sleep. The goal is to learn more about how to best support mothers in caring for their infants, especially to help prevent obesity and related health issues as their children grow. The study specifically aims to help mothers of young babies, particularly those from Latino or Hispanic backgrounds, make informed decisions about their baby's nutrition and sleep habits to promote healthy growth.

To participate in this study, mothers need to have a healthy baby who is less than one month old and was born full term (after 37 weeks of pregnancy). The mothers should be at least 18 years old and willing to attend follow-up visits for the study. However, mothers who smoke, work mostly at night, or have infants with certain health issues cannot join. Participants can expect to share their experiences and receive support, ultimately helping to improve care for their children and reduce the risk of obesity later in life.
