How the diet of breastfeeding Latina moms affects the health of their babies

This study looks at the effects of sugar in Hispanic/Latina moms and their babies. Previous studies have found that eating and drinking too much sugar can cause weight gain and health problems that affect the liver, kidneys, and heart. Feeding sugar to children can cause health problems that affect their growth and development. Hispanic/Latina moms and their babies are more at risk for these health problems than other groups. We want to find out whether an education program to reduce sugar improves the health of Hispanic/Latina moms and their babies. Come join the MAMITA Study if you are a pregnant or have a newborn.
