The WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study-2 (WIC ITFPS-2), also known as the “Feeding My Baby” Study, captures data on caregivers and their children over the first 5 years of the child’s life after WIC enrollment to address a series of research questions regarding feeding practices, associations between WIC services and those practices, and the health and nutrition outcomes of children receiving WIC. The study previously produced two reports, the Intentions to Breastfeed Report and the Infant Year Report. The current report focuses on caregivers’ employment, school, and childcare circumstances, as well as the feeding progressions, dietary intake, and weight status of children from birth through around 24 months.
To complement the WIC ITFPS-2 Infant Year Report and Second Year Report, the study team developed six short videos:
- Module 1: Study Designs and Methods
- Module 2: Prenatal Beliefs, Breastfeeding Initiation, and Breastfeeding and Formula Feeding from 1-7 Months
- Module 3: Introduction of Complementary Foods and Feeding Older Infants
- Module 4: Work, Child Care, and Developmental Progression in Feeding
- Module 5: Food Intake & Energy and Nutrient Intake
- Module 6: Weight and Growth
