PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

Population: Since Cohort 2 had a modified protocol where the step involving photographs and direct weights of bottles with powdered formula only was not completed, the kilocalories for all participants in Cohort 2 cannot be determined. Powder not water is the source of kilocalories in formula; we could not accurately determine kilocalories without this step.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

Population: Since Cohort 2 had a modified protocol where the step involving photographs and direct weights of bottles with powdered formula only was not completed, the kilocalories for all participants in Cohort 2 cannot be determined. Powder not water is the source of kilocalories in formula; we could not accurately determine kilocalories without this step.

Kilocalorie difference between the Remote Food Photography Method and direct weighing separately analyzed by the four different bottle sizes that were prepared (2 oz bottles only, 4 oz bottles only, 6 oz bottles only, and 8 oz bottles only). Each participant prepared 3 sets of 2 oz bottles, 3 sets of 4 oz bottles, 3 sets of 6 oz bottles, and 3 sets of 8 oz bottles and all bottles of the specified size were included in the analysis. Kilocalorie difference is Remote Food Photography Method - Direct Weighing

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

Population: Number of participants' data analyzed is broken down between those who identified as infant caregivers and those who identified as infant non-caregivers.

A caregiver will be defined as an individual who is a parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle, or nanny or babysitter who has provided care to an infant within the last 12 months. Gram weight by direct weighing comparing the caregivers and non-caregivers in infant formula provision (not simulated intake) in 2 oz prepared bottles only. Each participant prepared 3 sets of 2 oz bottles, and all bottles of the specified size were included in the analysis.
