Examining the Influence of Daily Complementary Feeding of Eggs on Infant Development and Growth in Guatemala (Saqmolo') is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of adding one egg daily to the local standard of nutrition care for Mayan infants age 6-9 months when compared to the standard nutrition care alone. This study focuses on the following outcomes: child development, growth, and diet quality. A total of 1,200 infants were recruited for this trial in rural Guatemala and includes a sub-study to evaluate the microbiome on a subset of infants.
