Texting parents to fight baby fat

NCT ID NCT06319807

Summary

This study tested whether sending daily text messages with tips and encouragement could help parents receiving food assistance (WIC) prevent their infants from gaining weight too quickly. The goal was to teach responsive feeding—like recognizing when a baby is full—to lower the child's lifelong risk of obesity. Researchers wanted to see if the text-based program was practical and acceptable to parents in the first few months after birth.
