The problem
Intervention: Complementary feeding initiated before 6 months of age
Who it was tested with: Infants in prospective cohort studies across various resource settings.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"We conducted a systematized review of prospective studies examining infant growth and CF. We examined the potential for reverse causality and socioecological factors that appeared to influence feeding and growth outcomes." The review synthesizes evidence from prospective cohort studies across multiple contexts, providing comparison group data across resource settings, though reverse causality remains a key challenge to causal interpretation.
Systematized review of observational cohort studies without meta-analytic synthesis; local norms and caregiver perceptions discussed but not explicitly modeled in included studies; heterogeneity across studies limits definitive conclusions about causality.
