This creative project included the development and testing of infant nutrition aids for low-income and teenage mothers. A survey of sixty three mothers in the Delaware County Well-Child Clinic and the Teenage Mothers' Program of the Muncie Community Schools revealed current infant feeding practices and nutrition knowledge. A teaching unit was developed and included a slide program and script demonstrating infant development, behavior, and nutritional needs. A one week instructional unit included an infant food laboratory, nutrition information, feeding suggestions, and games. Pre and post-tests were administered to determine the effectiveness of the instructional program.
