Summary

This study looks at how to help mothers in home visiting programs learn responsive feeding—recognizing when their baby is hungry or full. Researchers will first talk to moms about their experiences, then test a coaching program called LEIFc with 39 mother-infant pairs. The goal is to see if the program is practical and liked by families, and whether it improves feeding practices and healthy growth.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a practical, low-cost coaching program that helps mothers recognize their baby's hunger and fullness cues, supporting healthy weight gain.
