The impact of lipid-based nutrient supplement provision to pregnant women on newborn size in rural Malawi : a randomized controlled trial 1 – 4

Background: Small birth size, often associated with insufficient maternal nutrition, contributes to a large share of global child undernutrition, morbidity, and mortality. We developed a small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) to enrich the diets of
