Intervention
Participants randomized into this arm will receive the Healthy Eating for My Infant Intervention (HEMI).
Healthy Eating for My Infant (HEMI)
Our team developed an obesity prevention program, Healthy Eating for My Infant (HEMI), to address the unique factors influencing obesity risk and health behaviors among low-income families and their infants and to be delivered in conjunction with an existing evidence-based home visiting program. HEMI targets healthy feeding with children 3-14 months old through twice monthly behavioral and educational sessions alongside sessions with a peer counselor with similar lived experience to mothers in the program. HEMI incorporates education and evidence-based behavioral techniques (e.g., problem solving, goal setting, behavioral rehearsal) to address topics such as infant nutrition, introduction of solid foods, responsive feeding, realistic healthy eating options, healthy eating on a budget, and recipes). All sessions are delivered in the families' homes. The intervention also includes free grocery delivery and supplemental funds for purchasing foods through grocery delivery.
