TW infants had higher intakes of key micronutrients at 6-8 months, although there were few differences in nutritional intake at 9-12 months or food group exposure between babies following TW or BLW. BLW appears to be socially desirable. Guidance for parents is required, along with larger, longer-term studies, which explore the potential impact of BLW in later childhood.
