First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether coaching for Latino mothers on how to feed and put their babies to sleep can prevent obesity in the first two years of life. About 256 mothers and their healthy full-term infants will receive either group coaching or text-based support. The goal is to help babies reach a healthy weight and reduce future risks like diabetes.
