| Abstract | Background Maternal overweight is a risk factor for child obesity. Breastfeeding may decrease this risk, but breastfeeding prevalence is low in overweight or obese mothers. Methods We conducted a randomized trial in 90 overweight/obese pregnant women in Bogotá-Colombia during 2019, to evaluate the effects of a new exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) counselling intervention for overweight/obese mothers, based on Carl Rogers’ client-centered theory. The Intervention included individualized breastfeeding counseling, empowerment sessions, and a set of problem-solving strategies based on Carl Rogers’ client-centered theory, conducted during late pregnancy, first week postpartum, 1 and 3 months postpartum. Primary outcomes were EBF during the last 24 h prevalence at 4 months postpartum, infant growth, and maternal weight loss at 4 months postpartum; secondary outcomes were serum and breast milk prolactin concentration, breast milk energy and macronutrient content, estimated breast milk volume at 1 and 4 months and EBF prevalence at interim time-points. Mothers were randomised in late pregnancy to intervention (new breastfeeding counselling; IG) or control group (standard breastfeeding support; CG). Results The IG had significantly higher EBF prevalence at 4 months (82.8%) compared to the CG (30.6%) (Prevalence ratio or PR = 2.7; 95% CI = 1.6, 4.5). There were no intervention effects on infant growth velocity, maternal weight loss or secondary outcomes. Discussion The intervention, which could be implemented in primary care settings, was highly effective for increasing the prevalence of EBF in overweight/obese mothers at 4 months postpartum. The results should, however, be interpreted in the context of the small sample size, short follow-up period and loss to follow-up. Further evaluation of the intervention is required in a larger sample including longer-term infant follow-up.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
