NCT07467876
This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare adherence to two complementary feeding methods-Baby-Led Introduction to SolidS (BLISS) and Parent-Led Weaning (PLW)-in infants aged 6-12 months. A total of 130 infants aged 6-9 months were randomized to BLISS (n=65) or PLW (n=65) groups. Adherence was defined as self-feeding for BLISS and spoon-fed consistency for PLW. Follow-up continued until 12 months of age. The study found significantly higher adherence in the BLISS group compared to the PLW group (78.5% vs 52.3%, p=0.002).
NCT05771324
The goal of this \[type of study: clinical trial\] is to compare compare the nutrition, development, obesity risk and anemia risk of the infant with the BLW method and TCF method given to the mothers of infants who have switched to complementary feeding. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the feeding and development of the babies in both groups? * Does the training on the GTB and BLW method given in accordance with the developmental age of the baby in months have an effect on the obesity risk and anemia risk of babies in both groups? Participants will participate in each session of the complementary nutrition trainings given in accordance with their age on a monthly basis and will provide a diet suitable for the trainings. Researchers will compare the nutritional parameters, developmental levels, and height and weight gains of infants fed with the BLW and TCF method to see the effect of complementary feeding education on the nutrition and development of infants and whether there is anemia and obesity risk.
NCT05517577
This study aims to improve maternal, neonatal and infant health outcomes through an integrated community-based intervention package in Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia.
NCT04835662
The purpose of this study was to evaluate an intervention to engage fathers in supporting the dietary diversity and other complementary feeding practices of their young children.
NCT02975063
Investigators will use a cluster-randomized design to evaluate the overall impact of the Alive \& Thrive infant and young child feeding communication strategies in Lagos and Kaduna States, Nigeria. The impact in each state and in a subset of urban local government areas (LGAs) will also be tested.This is a mixed methods evaluation; the quantitative data will be complemented by qualitative data obtained from different groups targeted by or involved in the program.
NCT03675607
Study design: Cross-sectional study, survey based Study population: spanish people, caregivers of infants under 2 years old. Sample size: 1925 surveys. Study duration and research process: 10 days on-line survey that will be opened through a launching page. The survey is composed of 3 blocks. Statistical analysis: data will be analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) package version 9.4 (or higher). The categorical variables will be presented in the form of lists of frequencies and percentages. For the quantitative variables (continuous or ordinal), indices of central tendency (mean, median) and dispersion (standard deviation and maximum and minimum values) will also be presented.
NCT02775552
Alive \& Thrive is an initiative that aims to scale up nutrition to save lives, prevent illness, and ensure healthy growth and development through improved infant young child feeding (IYCF) practices. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Alive \& Thrive intervention package, consisting of interpersonal communication, community mobilization activities, and radio campaign, can increase complementary feeding practices (minimum dietary diversity and minimum meal frequency) while sustaining exclusive breastfeeding rate among children less than two years of age. The impact evaluation uses a cluster-randomized design where 20 geographic clusters (woredas/districts) were randomized to two study arms - 10 intervention areas and 10 comparison areas. Repeated cross-sectional baseline and endline surveys will be used to assess program impact.
NCT03206424
WHO and UNICEF recommend exclusive breastfeeding for six months and addition of complementary foods (CF) at six months of age with continued breastfeeding till two years But WHO estimates that 2 out of 5 children are stunted in low-income countries, so CF should be timely, adequate and prepared and given in a safe manner.

The epidemic of pediatric obesity has become a public health burden in both developed and developing countries, due to its serious health consequences, including an increased risk of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and heart disease. Currently, dietary and exercise changes are still the center of preventive and treatment measures of obesity. Recently, the omega-3 group, one of the groups of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), has been associated with many positive effects leading to the improvement of many diseases related to obesity. Nevertheless, the consumption of this essential nutrient requires certain ration to optimize its favorable result. Although previous studies have examined the efficacy of dietary counseling approach as treatment for obesity, none of them as explicitly explore the use of linear programming to create a tailored diet containing high omega-3 fatty acid food as a part of dietary counseling in obesity management program among children. Thus, this study is intended to contribute the clinical evidence regarding this area of knowledge, specifically the effects of enhanced counseling containing complementary feeding recommendation on nutritional status, omega-3 fatty acid, malondialdehyde, and alpha Tocopherol among children with risk of overweight aged 12 -23 months in East Jakarta.
NCT01676623
Alive \& Thrive is an initiative that aims to improve infant and young child feeding practices and reduce childhood stunting. In Vietnam, Alive \& Thrive's primary intervention is implemented through a social franchise linked with the government's health system. The impact evaluation is conducted using a cluster-randomized design in which 20 commune health centers (CHC) were assigned to the social franchise model, and 20 CHC were assigned to routine government services. Repeated cross-sectional baseline and endline surveys will be used to assess the public health impact of this intervention. The baseline was in 2010 and an endline survey in the same communities will be conducted in 2014. Mixed methods process evaluation will be conducted in 2011, 2012 and 2013 to study the pathways through which the program impact is achieved.
NCT01678716
This complex evaluation of a large-scale program uses a cluster-randomized design where 20 geographic clusters (subdistricts) were randomized to study two sets of interventions. For the evaluation of behavior change interventions only, the 20 clusters were randomized to 10 intensive and 10 non-intensive interventions areas. For a sub-study to evaluate a market-based model for delivering micronutrient powders (MNP) along with behavior change interventions, there was subsequent randomization to comparison area, MNP-only area, Behavior Change Communication (BCC)-only area and MNP+BCC areas.
NCT01645163
The study aims to develop, design pilot a mHealth intervention strengthen complementary feeding (CF) components of the ICDS program. The methods will include explaining views of caregivers of infants aged 9-11 months, AWWs and other ICDS personnel on the feasibility, acceptability and the best means of using mobile phones to deliver CF counselling. Based on the feedback an intervention will be developed and pilot tested.
