The WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study-2 is designed to measure the feeding practices employed by caregivers and the nutrition outcomes of children who participate in WIC. This change will allow FNS to collect information on the children up to five years of age.
This is a revision to the currently approved data collection. Currently, this collection is approved with 5,408 burden hours and 45,077 responses. As a result of substantive revisions due to expanding the scope of this study to follow children through the entire period of their WIC eligibility (Age-5 extension), FNS estimates that this collection's inventory will increase by 6,211 burden hours and 85,079 responses as a result of program changes. With this revision, FNS estimates that this collection will have 11,619 burden hours and 130,156 responses.
