Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to conduct an intervention aimed at providing first-time parents with information on the conduct of complementary feeding through a paper brochure and a smartphone application, to test the effect of this intervention (compared to usual care, i.e. receiving the paper brochure only), on infant corpulence at 36 and 48 months of age, and parental feeding practices and infant eating behavior up to 36 months of age.


Clinical Trial Description

The intervention will consist in the dissemination of new French recommendations relating to complementary feeding, in particular in connection with an educational device in the form of a smartphone application delivering relevant infant feeding messages in due time between the ages of 3 and 36 months. In France, new recommendations relating to complementary feeding are disseminated to the general public by Santé publique France (the French Public Health Agency) since September 2021 in the form of a paper brochure. Based on the recommendations of this brochure, a smartphone application was developped. Parents in the intervention (n=165) and control groups (n=165) will receive the paper brochure when the infant will reach the age of 3 months. In the intervention group, a smartphone application will additionnaly support this paper medium, providing information and very short videos illustrating some aspects of responsive feeding during complementary feeding and taking up the themes of the paper brochure. Information will be sent through the smartphone app regularly until the children reach the age of 36 months. In total 106 specific messages will be sent to parents between 3 and 36 months in the intervention group and 48 generic messages to both groups. The main objective is to determine if the intervention is associated to a difference between the BMI z-score at the age of 36 months of the children of the parents of the intervention group, compared with those of the control group. Parental feeding practices and infant eating behavior will be evaluated several times during the follow-up from the 3rd month of the infant until his 48th month with various validated questionnaires from the literature (n=330) and with behavioral evaluations (n=130, 65 in each group) carried out during meals filmed in the laboratory and at the participants' homes. Our goal is to involve a total of 330 parents and children (with only first-time parents); the first 30 children will allow us to test the device but their data may not be included in the final analysis. ;
