[Influence of follow-up education of mothers about too early introduction of solid food to infants]
Abstract
We developed a program intended to modify maternal attitudes towards feeding in order to delay the introduction of solids to infants until they are 2 months of age. The program was provided by nurses using an individualized, educational approach. To evaluate its efficacy, a randomized trial design was used. The results in the 2 groups were comparable. The educational trial's lack of success when compared to others and the reasons for this are discussed.
