  Study of the acceptability of two LNS (20 g doses) designed for infants and for pregnant/lactating women. Methods included direct observation of consumption of test meals by infants and mothers, maternal sensory reaction to the products (and her perception of infant’s reaction), and maternal reports of experiences and reactions during a 2-week home-feeding trial.
