Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the feeding and development of the babies in both groups?
* Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the obesity risk and anemia risk of babies in both groups?
Participants will participate in each session of the complementary nutrition trainings given in accordance with their age on a monthly basis and will provide a diet suitable for the trainings.
Researchers will compare the nutritional parameters, developmental levels, and height and weight gains of infants fed with the BLW and TCF method to see the effect of complementary feeding education on the nutrition and development of infants and whether there is anemia and obesity risk.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Micronutrient intake, hemoglobin, ferritin and vitamin B12 levels were evaluated to examine the effects of the trainings on infant nutrition.
Physical, cognitive, psychosocial, language, motor and game development levels of infants were evaluated in order to examine the effects of training on infant development.
Weight gain, WLZ, LAZ and WAZ scores of infants were evaluated to examine the effects of the education given on obesity risk.
Hemoglobin, hematocrit and ferritin levels were evaluated to examine the effects of the training given on the risk of anemia.
