Study Summary

This trial aims to understand how babies of mothers with obesity, who did not lose weight before pregnancy, respond to bottle nipples with different hole sizes. Researchers believe that these infants will have a stronger sucking effect

Who is the study for?
This study is for babies aged 3 to 6 months who are typically bottle-fed and have birth weights within the normal range. Their mothers must be their full-time legal guardians, not shared custody, and should have been part of the PLAN study during pregnancy but did not lose weight before giving birth.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is examining how infants react to two types of bottle nipples: one with a standard hole size (typical nipple) and another with a smaller or larger hole (challenging nipple). The focus is on whether there's a 'Suck Effect' difference in babies whose mothers had obesity and didn't lose weight pre-pregnancy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves feeding bottles with different nipple sizes, side effects may include potential frustration or difficulty in feeding if the baby struggles with the challenging nipple compared to the typical one.
