Abstract

Interventions to prevent childhood obesity increasingly focus on infant feeding but demonstrate inconsistent effects. A comprehensive qualitative evidence synthesis is essential to better understand feeding behaviours and inform intervention development. The aim of this study is to synthesise evidence on perceptions and experiences of infant feeding, and complementary feeding recommendations.
