<p><strong>Importance: </strong>Infant growth predicts long-term obesity and cardiovascular disease. Previous interventions designed to prevent obesity in the first 2 years of life have been largely unsuccessful.

To be eligible, parents spoke English or Spanish, and children were born after 34 weeks' gestational age. Study enrollment occurred between October 2019 and January 2022, with follow-up through January 2024.</p><p><strong>Interventions: </strong>In the clinic-based health behavior counseling (clinic-only) group, pediatric clinicians used health literacy-informed booklets at well-child visits to promote healthy behaviors (n = 451).

Children in the clinic + digital intervention group had a lower mean weight-for-length trajectory, with an estimated reduction of 0.33 kg/m (95% CI, 0.09 to 0.57) at 24 months. There was also an adjusted mean difference of -0.19 (95% CI, -0.37 to -0.02) for weight-for-length z score and -0.19 (95% CI, -0.36 to -0.01) for BMI z score. At age 24 months, 23.2% of the clinic + digital intervention group compared with 24.5% of the clinic-only group had overweight or obesity (adjusted risk ratio, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.70 to 1.17]) based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria of BMI 85th percentile or greater.
