简要总结
Poor feeding practices during infancy contribute to obesity risk because they interfere with infant feeding self-regulation and appropriate growth patterns as infants transition from human milk and/or formula-based diets to solid foods. The goal of the project is to provide an educational intervention that fosters appropriate maternal responsiveness, feeding styles, and feeding practices via infant-centered feeding.
详细描述
The long-term goal of this integrated project is to contribute to curbing the rising rates of childhood obesity through an effective, multi-component, relationship skill-building and educational intervention that fosters infant-centered feeding to promote appropriate maternal responsiveness, feeding styles, and feeding practices as infants transition to solid foods.
Research Objectives: To evaluate effectiveness of Healthy Babies (HB) compared to the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) at two points in time (when the infant is 6 and 12 months of age) for mothers of infants on maternal responsiveness, feeding style, and feeding practices as infants' transition to solid foods, and to compare infant feeding self-regulation and growth pattern of infants at 6 and 12 months of age between the two groups, HB and EFNEP.
Hypothesis: Compared to mothers of infants who receive traditional EFNEP lessons, mothers who receive HB lessons will achieve an improvement (when the infant is 6 months old that is sustained over time when the infant is 12 months of age) on:
- Maternal responsiveness (measured by appropriately interpreting and responding to infant cues when transitioning their infants to solid foods on the Parent-Child Interaction-Feeding Scale [PCI-F]).
- Maternal feeding styles (measured by feeding beliefs and behaviors on the Infant Feeding Styles Questionnaire).
- Feeding practices (measured by use of appropriate feeding practices when transitioning their infants to solid foods on the PCI-F).
Research Question: How do infants in the HB (intervention) group compare to the infants in the traditional EFNEP group when the infant is 6 and 12 months old on:

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline in Maternal Responsiveness at different time points (e.g., 6 months, 12 months)
时间窗: Change from Baseline in Maternal Responsiveness at 6 months
Change in maternal responsiveness is measured through an Observational measure (mother-infant feeding interaction): Maternal Responsiveness via Parent-Child Interaction-Feeding Scale (PCI-F) (Formerly Nursing Child Assessment of Feeding Scale)
Change in Baseline in Maternal Responsiveness at different time points (6 months and 12 months)
时间窗: Change in Baseline in Maternal Responsiveness at 12 months
Change in Baseline in maternal responsiveness at 12 months is measured via an observational tool: Parent-Child Interaction -Feeding Scale.
次要结局
- Change from Baseline in Feeding Practices assessed at different time points (6 months and 12 months)(Change in Baseline in feeding practices at 12 months)
