This study is looking at ways to prevent childhood obesity in low-income Latino infants and toddlers. It compares two approaches: the "Futuros Fuertes 2.0" intervention and a control intervention. Both involve brief health education and coaching sessions after well-child visits in the first two years of life (7 sessions total), plus two text messages per week for caregivers and up to two family members. Futuros Fuertes 2.0 focuses on infant feeding, screen time, and sleep, while the control group receives education on safety, managing childhood illnesses, and language development. The main goal is to see how these interventions affect a child's BMI Z-score (a measure of weight for height) at 24 months. We don't know the current recruitment status, but the study plans to enroll 576 participants. To join, your child must be between 7 days and 2 months old, and you must identify as Latino, speak Spanish or English, and plan to receive primary care at a participating clinic. Your infant also needs to be born at 37 weeks or later and weigh at least 2600 grams at birth.
