Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Jamaica is a middle income country in which overweight and obesity in children are also increasing at an alarming rate. The investigators in Jamaica are seeking to provide a more comprehensive knowledge on the link between early life nutrition and later childhood health and to assess the impact of an intervention of infant feeding counselling/education in mothers on growth and body composition in their offspring.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Several early life factors identified to contribute to development of obesity and adverse metabolic profile; pre-pregnancy underweight and overweight, high weight gain in early pregnancy in addition to inappropriate infant feeding pattern and rapid weight gain in early life have major role.
The aims of the study are:1) to assess intrauterine and postnatal risk factors for childhood obesity in children followed from the second trimester in mother's pregnancy to age 1 year and 2) to assess the impact of a nutrition-based educational intervention on infant feeding, growth and body composition in the first year of life.
This study design is a cluster randomized clinical trial with key outputs being : 1) The use of deuterium dilution method to provide new data on body composition of mothers from during pregnancy and during infancy in addition to obtain accurate measurement of breastmilk intake 2) new data on the relationship between maternal body composition and/or infant body composition and non-communicable disease risk factors; 3) new data on the impact of a nutrition-based educational on infant's growth and body composition.

Intervention Group
Mothers and children in this group will have measurements, questionnaire administration. The children will have routine child care at their health center and mothers will have a 60 minute nutrition-based and non-nutrition based educational message
Nutrition-based education on infant feeding and practices as well as Non nutrition-based educational message
60 minute educational message at each visit
Control Group
Mothers and babies will have measurements and questionnaire administration and children will receive routine child care at their health centers. These mothers will receive a non-nutrition based educational message only.
Non nutrition-based educational message
No nutrition-based education on infant feeding and practices
