Infant weight for height [ Time Frame: One year after study entry ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Infant weight for height will be assessed to see if proportions of elevated weight for height are lower in intervention groups as compared to usual care.

Anticipatory Guidance to Prevent Childhood Obesity
Can Changing How Moms Eat Prevent Obesity in Toddlers?

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.

Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Childhood Obesity
  • Behavioral: Maternal focused intervention
    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.
    Other Name: MOMS
  • Behavioral: Ounce of Prevention
    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.
    Other Name: "Ounce"
  • No Intervention: Bright Futures
    This represents 'usual care' in the pediatric office. The anticipatory guidance regarding nutrition is based on the Bright Futures Pocket Guide.
  • Experimental: Maternal focused intervention
    Childhood obesity prevention was approached in this arm via anticipatory guidance aimed at maternal eating habits.
    Intervention: Behavioral: Maternal focused intervention
  • Active Comparator: 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.
    Intervention: Behavioral: Ounce of Prevention
