Identifying elevated child weight from 3 to 24 months: Early transitions into nonparental care and to solid foods
Authors' conclusion
NPC-ITS combinations on child WFL/WFHz across the first 2 years of life highlight the need for a partnership approach among parental and nonparental caregivers to support the feeding of infants throughout the transition to solid foods.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
WFL/WFHz over time · 3 to 24 months
- Children in daycare (regardless of ITS) or kincare-ITS before 6M had the highest WFL/WFHz over time vs parental care counterparts
Observational data: associations, not effects.
