Anticipatory Guidance to Prevent Childhood Obesity

This is a series of information given to mothers at child's well child visits (6 in all) starting at the newborn visit focused in maternal eating habits, using the mother as a potential 'agent of change' for the family and infant in modeling healthy eating habits.

This intervention is given via a series of handouts given to mothers at their child's well visit from newborn period to one year of age, focusing on serving size and frequency and the introduction of new foods.
