5. Conclusions
In this three-month trial, based on a partial sample, we saw a better trajectory of growth among children in the yogurt intervention group compared to the education-only or control groups. It was not possible to determine whether this improvement was solely due to yogurt consumption. Yogurt, however, can be a cost-effective intervention with immense possibilities to improve growth and development in children through multiple pathways, which warrants further testing. Yogurt was found safe for infants and was well accepted as a complementary food. It is possible to increase yogurt consumption through training and household engagement.
