This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether families with larger-than-average newborns benefit from extra support with feeding, child development, and healthcare education during the baby's first year. Half of the babies will receive visits every three months with personalized guidance, while the other half will have routine visits every six months. Researchers will track whether the extra support helps prevent overweight and obesity by age two and seven.
Babies born larger than average face a higher risk of becoming overweight or obese later in childhood. This trial aims to see whether early, hands-on support for families during the critical first year can help prevent these weight-related health problems before they start.

If your baby is randomly chosen for the intervention group, you will visit the clinic every three months during the first year for feeding guidance, developmental assessments, and health education. If your baby is in the regular care group, you will have routine visits every six months. Either way, researchers will check your child's weight, growth, and overall health at ages two and seven, and may also perform heart and blood pressure measurements.
