Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Kilocalorie (Kcal) Difference Between Methods for All Prepared Bottles

    Time frame: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

    Kilocalorie (Kcal) Difference in prepared infant formula intake detected in a bottle between the Remote Food Photography Method (RFPM) and direct weighing

    Kilocalorie difference between the Remote Food Photography Method and direct weighing with all bottles that were prepared included

    Kilocalorie difference is Remote Food Photography Method - Direct Weighing

Secondary outcomes

  1. Kilocalorie (Kcal) Difference Between Different Bottle Sizes

    Time frame: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

    Kilocalorie difference between the Remote Food Photography Method and direct weighing separately analyzed by the four different bottle sizes that were prepared (2 oz bottles only, 4 oz bottles only, 6 oz bottles only, and 8 oz bottles only). Each participant prepared 3 sets of 2 oz bottles, 3 sets of 4 oz bottles, 3 sets of 6 oz bottles, and 3 sets of 8 oz bottles and all bottles of the specified size were included in the analysis.

    Kilocalorie difference is Remote Food Photography Method - Direct Weighing

Other outcomes

  1. Gram Weight of Infant Formula Provision Between Participants Who Identified as Infant Caregivers and Infant Non-caregivers for 2 oz Prepared Bottles Only

    Time frame: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

    A caregiver will be defined as an individual who is a parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle, or nanny or babysitter who has provided care to an infant within the last 12 months.

    Gram weight by direct weighing comparing the caregivers and non-caregivers in infant formula provision (not simulated intake) in 2 oz prepared bottles only. Each participant prepared 3 sets of 2 oz bottles, and all bottles of the specified size were included in the analysis.

  2. Gram Weight of Infant Formula Provision Between Participants Who Identified as Infant Caregivers and Infant Non-caregivers for 4 oz Prepared Bottles Only

    Time frame: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

    A caregiver will be defined as an individual who is a parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle, or nanny or babysitter who has provided care to an infant within the last 12 months.

    Gram weight by direct weighing comparing the caregivers and non-caregivers in infant formula provision (not simulated intake) in 4 oz prepared bottles only. Each participant prepared 3 sets of 4 oz bottles, and all bottles of the specified size were included in the analysis.

  3. Gram Weight of Infant Formula Provision Between Participants Who Identified as Infant Caregivers and Infant Non-caregivers for 6 oz Prepared Bottles Only

    Time frame: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

    A caregiver will be defined as an individual who is a parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle, or nanny or babysitter who has provided care to an infant within the last 12 months.

    Gram weight by direct weighing comparing the caregivers and non-caregivers in infant formula provision (not simulated intake) in 6 oz prepared bottles only. Each participant prepared 3 sets of 6 oz bottles, and all bottles of the specified size were included in the analysis.

  4. Gram Weight of Infant Formula Provision Between Participants Who Identified as Infant Caregivers and Infant Non-caregivers for 8 oz Prepared Bottles Only

    Time frame: Measures will be performed twice about 5-10 days apart

    A caregiver will be defined as an individual who is a parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle, or nanny or babysitter who has provided care to an infant within the last 12 months.

    Gram weight by direct weighing comparing the caregivers and non-caregivers in infant formula provision (not simulated intake) in 8 oz prepared bottles only. Each participant prepared 3 sets of 8 oz bottles, and all bottles of the specified size were included in the analysis.
