Number of food episodes and mean daily feeding time by study week. Figure 1a,b is based on data from feeding logs. In Fig. 1a, the sum of the number of feeding episodes during each study week is presented. In Fig. 1b, the mean daily feeding time for each type of food during each study week was adjusted for within‐subject correlation. During week 0, no FS (fortified spread) was provided to participants. FS was available to participants during weeks 1, 4, 8 and 12. Porridge = maize, rice or maize/soy, approximately 10% dry matter; FS mixed = spread mixed with porridge; FS alone = spread given straight from the jar; nsima = dough made from maize, approximately 28% dry matter, and relish = side dish made of green vegetables, fish or beans; other meals = rice or boiled pumpkin; snacks = small quantities of food eaten between meals (such as banana, bread, roasted maize).
