First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests if digital videos and tips can help prevent obesity in babies during their first year. About 50 mothers in a home visiting program will watch short modules on feeding, sleep, and activity. Researchers will check the babies' weight and ask mothers about their habits at 4, 6, and 12 months. The goal is to see if this digital approach is easy to use and helps keep babies at a healthy weight.
