The WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study 2/“Feeding My Baby” Study captures data on WIC caregivers and their children over the first 5 years of each child’s life to address a series of research questions regarding feeding practices, the effect of WIC services on those practices, and the health and nutrition outcomes of children on WIC.

The WIC Nutrition Education Study (NEST) provides detailed information on WIC nutrition education services and includes the following two phases:

-- Phase I: Comprehensive nationally representative description of WIC nutrition education processes and features.

-- Phase II: Pilot study of the impact of WIC nutrition education on nutrition and other behaviors in six WIC sites.

This report presents the Phase I results of the study.
