Social Media and Risk Reduction Teaching-Enhanced Reach

This study aims to improve adherence to American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep (SS) recommendations and improve rates of initiation and duration of partial and exclusive breastfeeding (BF) through direct education of mothers using Mobile Health (mHealth) technologies (ex. text messaging).

Infant Safe Sleep in Pediatric Emergency Depratment

Safe sleep recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) are designed to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related infant deaths. These recommendations include placing infants on their backs to sleep, using a crib or bassinet, avoiding soft bedding, and not sharing a sleep space with other people. Many families do not consistently follow all recommended safe sleep practices, particularly when infants are sick. Research has shown that educational programs provided in pediatric emergency departments can improve some safe sleep behaviors, but improvements have been limited and may not continue over time. Additional strategies are needed to help families adopt and maintain safe sleep practices. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a daily safe sleep tracking tool, used together with brief safe sleep education, can improve caregivers' adherence to recommended safe sleep practices compared with education alone. The information learned from this study may help healthcare providers develop more effective ways to promote safe sleep and reduce the risk of sleep-related infant deaths.

JessieHug Feasibility and Usability Assessment

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluates the usability, tolerability, and clinical accuracy of the JessieHug device, a wearable medical device for newborns and infants that collects physiological data. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the device easily usable for parents of newborns and infants? * Is the device tolerable when worn by infants and are there any safety concerns? * Is the device able to collect clinically accurate physiologic data compared to a FDA-cleared reference device? Participants will: * Place the JessieHug device on their infant two times a week and complete surveys to assess usability, tolerability and safety. * Have one session where the JessieHug device will be worn at the same time as reference device to determine accuracy.
