- Malnutrition in early childhood can lead to long-term health issues, including obesity, with this study focusing on how maternal perceptions and feeding practices influence infant nutrition in northeastern Mexico.
- The research assessed 192 mother-infant pairs, revealing that 38% of infants were overweight/obese while 7% were underweight, and identified key maternal factors like low self-efficacy and inaccurate weight perceptions affecting infant nutritional status.
- Findings suggest that many mothers lack knowledge about proper feeding practices, with longer sleep duration linked to underweight infants and critical inaccuracies in maternal perceptions of their child’s weight for both underweight and overweight/obese infants.
