What outcomes are researchers expecting to observe from this trial?

"This clinical trial will use the EchoMRI body composition analyzer to assess infant lean mass at baseline as its primary endpoint. Secondary objectives include gathering data on an infant's dietary habits through 24-hour diet recalls and their mother's interview, utilizing Nutrition Data System for Research software (NDSR). Additionally, Infant Feeding Style Questionnaire scores are examined using a 1–5 scale in order to evaluate laissez-faire, pressuring restrictive, responsive, and indulgent behaviour. Lastly maternal resting heart rate is measured with a digital blood pressure monitor after five minutes of restful waiting."
