Pregnancy and postpartum breastfeeding support for people with gestational diabetes
Preventing Type 2 Diabetes Following Gestational Diabetes: Implementation Mapping for a Multilevel Breastfeeding Support Strategy
University of California, Davis · NCT07176793
This project will try a co-designed breastfeeding support program for pregnant and postpartum people with gestational diabetes to help lower their future risk of type 2 diabetes.

What this trial studies
Researchers at UC Davis will use implementation mapping and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to co-design a multilevel breastfeeding support strategy with patients, clinicians, and health system leaders. The work will include focus groups and stakeholder interviews to identify barriers and solutions and will map implementation strategies tailored to the local health system. The goal is to create practical workflows and supports (for example, lactation consultation access and postdischarge follow-up) that can be adopted at UC Davis Health. The project is observational and will take place over about one year at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal participants are English-speaking adults (age 18 or older) who are pregnant or recently postpartum with a diagnosis of gestational diabetes, as well as clinicians and health system leaders involved in perinatal care.
Not a fit: People under 18, non-English speakers, those without a history of gestational diabetes, or those unable to travel to UC Davis are unlikely to benefit from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could increase breastfeeding duration among people with gestational diabetes and reduce their long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Breastfeeding and lactation-support programs have been shown to improve breastfeeding rates and reduce maternal diabetes risk, but using implementation mapping specifically to design GDM-focused breastfeeding strategies is relatively novel.
