Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Breastfeeding Duration 1 | 6 months postpartum | Number of participants who report any breastfeeding at 6 months |
| Primary | Breastfeeding Duration 2 | 6 months post-partum | Time to cessation of breastfeeding in months (as measured by reported age of infant when completely stopped receiving breastmilk) |
