Abstract Background Immigrant children from low- and middle-income countries (e.g. India) have higher obesity rates than children from high-income countries (e.g. Australia). Infant feeding practices are a key modifiable risk factor to prevent childhood obesity. This study compared infant feeding practices such as breastfeeding, infant formula feeding, timing of introduction to other liquids and solids of Indian-born versus Australian-born mothers living in Australia.

Infant feeding practices between Indian-born mothers (n = 501) and Australian-born mothers (n = 510) were compared. Multiple regression models with adjustments for covariates, such as maternal demographic factors, were conducted.
