Observed feeding behaviours and effects on child weight and length at 12 months of age: Findings from the SPRING cluster-randomized controlled trial in rural India.

We found that trained non-specialists could assess feeding episodes using a newly designed checklist. Further, child and caregiver behaviours were associated with weight and length at only 12 months of age, a reminder of the importance of interventions to improve responsive feeding quality as we strive towards achievement of the sustainable development goals.
