Her dissertation was a qualitative grounded theory study investigating breastfeeding establishment and maternal role acquisition in mothers of late preterm infants. Her clinical and research interests involve breastfeeding issues of late preterm mother-infant dyads, perceived insufficient milk supply management and “diagnosis,” and perceptual and communication -related barriers to breastfeeding continuation and exclusivity. She is currently conducting a pilot study comparing the effect of meditation versus an herbal supplement on the perception of insufficient milk supply in mothers of late preterm and early term infants.
