Maternal behavior observations. Dams fed an HFD spent less time away from the nest and therefore cared more for their pups compared with those fed a CON. This was seen in HFD dams spending more time licking, nursing, and reorganizing nests in comparison with CON dams. Note: when licking and nursing behaviors occurred simultaneously, they were recorded in both behavioral categories.
