Summary

This study tests a program called Healthy Family Foundations for military families expecting their first child. The program includes 10 online group classes (5 before birth, 5 after) to help parents support each other with healthy eating, activity, and parenting. Researchers will compare these families to those receiving standard care, looking at weight changes in babies, mothers, and fathers. The goal is to see if this family-focused approach can prevent obesity early on.
