Abstract in brief

The study investigated whether a baby-led approach to complementary feeding (letting infants self-feed solid foods) affects infant growth and risk of overweight, comparing it to traditional spoon-feeding, by conducting a randomized clinical trial in New Zealand with 206 mothers.
Results showed no significant differences in BMI z scores between the baby-led (BLISS) group and the control group at 12 and 24 months, indicating the baby-led method did not reduce or increase the risk of overweight compared to traditional feeding.
The research also examined infants’ energy regulation, eating behaviors, and intake, but overall, providing support for the safety and neutrality of a baby-led approach in terms of growth and obesity risk in early childhood.]
