Introducing LA MOMS (Los Angeles
Managing Obesity in Moms)
In Los Angeles County 1 in 3 women of reproductive age are
overweight or obese, affecting a disproportionately high number of
Hispanic and African American women. Maternal overweight and obesity
are linked to poor birth outcomes and lower breastfeeding rates. LA
MOMs will provide new mothers guidance on nutrition, physical
activity, breastfeeding and stress reduction, with the goal of
reducing obesity among postpartum women in Los Angeles County. To
sign up for the LA MOMS newsletter or refer a new mom to the
