Popis:	In response to the cessation of in-person prenatal education services during the COVID-19 pandemic, we adapted an evidence-based curriculum to a live virtual format entitled Ready, Set, Baby Live COVID-19 Edition (RSB Live). In a sample of 146 pregnant people, participation in RSB Live was associated with high levels of knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding, early infant hunger cues, and recommended maternity care practices, as well as high levels of satisfaction with adaptations to the session’s content and virtual delivery. Participation was also associated with a significant increase in prenatal breastfeeding intention, a known predictor of breastfeeding outcomes. This study supports live, virtual education with a standardized curriculum as an effective and acceptable means of providing prenatal education.
