Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this pilot project is to test anticipatory guidance, which is information given to families during a well child visit to prevent obesity during childhood. The objectives were to compare two styles of anticipatory guidance during the first year of life, maternal focused and infant focused, versus usual care and determine which style, if any, showed the most ideal infant feeding behaviors at age 1 year and to see if there were any differences in infant weight for height at one year of age. The investigators hypothesized that mothers who received the maternal focused anticipatory guidance (which gave information on eating family meals, not having tv on during meals, and maternal nutrition) would actually have the best infant feeding behaviors and weight for height of infants at one year.

Bright Futures

This represents 'usual care' in the pediatric office. The anticipatory guidance regarding nutrition is based on the Bright Futures Pocket Guide.

No interventions assigned to this group

Maternal focused intervention

Childhood obesity prevention was approached in this arm via anticipatory guidance aimed at maternal eating habits.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Maternal focused intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This is a series of information given to mothers at child's well child visits (6 in all) starting at the newborn visit focused in maternal eating habits, using the mother as a potential 'agent of change' for the family and infant in modeling healthy eating habits.

Ounce of Prevention

This is a program of anticipatory guidance given to mothers of infants ages 2 weeks to one year which focuses on serving size per age and tips for introducing new foods for the infant.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ounce of Prevention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention is given via a series of handouts given to mothers at their child's well visit from newborn period to one year of age, focusing on serving size and frequency and the introduction of new foods.
