Clinical Trial Summary

In the last decade, infants are born into a social environment in which the smartphone has become an essential part of our lives. Smartphone use draws the mother's attention during mother-infant interactions and thus may affect the infant development as well as maternal self-efficacy. However, the effects of smartphone use reduction among breastfeeding mothers during their interactions with their infants have not been studied yet. In the present study, we propose to evaluate a "SMaRT Mom" intervention that we have developed, to manage and reduce smartphone use during breastfeeding. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of the SMaRT Mom intervention on breastfeeding mothers' biobehavioral mechanisms, self-efficacy and the socioemotional characteristics of their infants. This will extend our knowledge of the peculiarities of early mother-infant interactions in the digital era, when smartphones play a critical role.
