OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a universal obesity prevention intervention, which commenced at infant age 4-6 months, using outcome data assessed 6 months after completion of the first of two intervention modules and 9 months from baseline.DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial of a community-based early feeding intervention.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Six hundred and ninety-eight first-time mothers (mean age 30+/-5 years) with healthy term infants (51% male) aged 4.3+/-1.0 months at baseline. Mothers and infants were randomly allocated to self-directed access to usual care or to attend two group education modules, each delivered over 3 months, that provided anticipatory guidance on early feeding practices. Outcome data reported here were assessed at infant age 13.7+/-1.3 months. Anthropometrics were expressed as z-scores (WHO reference). Rapid weight gain was defined as change in weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) of >+0.67. Maternal feeding practices were assessed via self-administered questionnaire.RESULTS: There were no differences according to group allocation on key maternal and infant characteristics. At follow-up (n = 598 (86%)), the control group infants had higher BMI-for-age z-score (BMIZ) (0.42+/-0.85 vs 0.23+/-0.93, P = 0.009) and were more likely to show rapid weight gain from baseline to follow-up (odds ratio (OR) 1.5, confidence interval (CI) 95% 1.1-2.1, P = 0.014). Mothers in the control group were more likely to report using non-responsive feeding practices that fail to respond to infant satiety cues such as encouraging eating by using food as a reward (15% vs 4%, P = 0.001) or using games (67% vs 29%, P
