Complementary Feeding

The goal of this observational study is to assess the feasibility of investigating the association between the introduction of complementary feeding and gut microbiome composition in infants. The main question it aims to answer is: Can we reach the feasibility targets for questionnaire completeness and data quality, the proportion of stool samples suitable for analysis, protocol adherence, and recruitment rate? Parents will complete questionnaires about their infant's health and nutrition and collect stool samples from their infant at three timepoints around the introduction of complementary feeding.

The goal of this observational study is to explore the impact of pregnancy depression on infant feeding, and to explore the two-way relationship between postpartum depression and infant feeding. Participants will be asked to finish questionnaires four times (24 weeks of pregnancy to before delivery, 2 month postpartum, 4 month postpartum, 6 month postpartum).
