Official title: ECR Visant à évaluer l'Effet d'Une Intervention Sur la Diffusion d'Informations (Conduite de la Diversification Alimentaire) Sur le Comportement de Nourrissage Des Parents, le Comportement Alimentaire et le Statut pondéral de l'Enfant
Run by Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement · NCT05285761 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether a new smartphone app combined with a brochure can help first-time parents feed their babies better and improve their child's growth compared to just using the brochure alone.

What this trial studies
This trial aims to provide first-time parents with enhanced information on complementary feeding through a paper brochure and a smartphone application. The intervention will compare the effects of this dual approach against usual care, which consists solely of the brochure. Parents will receive targeted messages and videos via the app from the time their child is 3 months old until they reach 36 months, focusing on responsive feeding practices. The primary goal is to assess the impact of this intervention on the BMI z-score of infants at 36 months and on parental feeding practices.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could lead to healthier feeding practices and improved weight outcomes for infants.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that educational interventions can positively influence parental feeding practices and child health outcomes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
