JOIN THE MPRINT STUDY

The team at Mommy’s Milk is studying whether/how prescription medications that are
taken by a nursing mom affect the quality of breast milk, and whether/how this could then
affect the infant. You may qualify for the study if you live in the U.S. and you are a
breastfeeding parent who is already taking a prescription medication as part of your
routine healthcare; this can include but is not limited to an antidepressant or a monoclonal
antibody.

If you participate, you will be asked to provide biological samples for yourself and for your
baby. (See Additional Details below for information on the biological samples we would ask
you to collect.) All samples are collected by the mom from the comfort of home and mailed
to the study office. You will receive a $20 gift card to compensate you for your time.
