Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the proposed research is to conduct a within-subject experimental study that will assess the effect of environmental distractions on a mothers' ability to recognize and feed in response to infants' feeding cues. Investigators hypothesize that mothers will spend significantly more time looking at their technology compared to looking at their infant, which will be negatively associated with the mothers' responsiveness to her infant. This will have a positive association with infant intake during the feeding. Investigators also hypothesize that mothers will show less sensitivity when distracted when compared to when they are not distracted.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Classical Music versus Television show

This is within-subject study; all infants will be exposed to both conditions. Order of presentation will counterbalanced across infants.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Technology distraction

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Infants will be fed with classical music playing in the background for one feeding and with a television show playing for the mother to watch during the other.
