Study Summary
Infancy is an important target period for obesity prevention because once obese as an infant, the relative risk of remaining obese appears to rise with increasing age at great cost to both individuals and society. The ability to self-regulate energy intake (eating when hungry and stopping when full) is vital to obesity prevention and it is thought that this ability can be derailed by a chronic mismatch between parental feeding behavior and the infant's state (feeding in the absence of hunger and/or feeding beyond fullness). The study will test a novel intervention to help parents and pre-verbal infants better understand one another during feeding and it will offer new insight into how self-regulation of energy intake develops during infancy.
Primary Outcome
The infant's length and weight (in clean dry diaper only) will be measured in triplicate, using a calibrated length board and digital scale. The mean of the three length measurements (cm) and the mean of the three weight measurements (kg) will be combined to report a sex-specific weight-for-length z score. Weight-for-Length Z scores are measures of relative weight adjusted for child length and sex. The Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from a reference population in the sa
