Encouraging caregivers to feed young children from a separate bowl is a powerful nudge to appropriately feeding. Based on research with caregivers that identified the need, and then the design of the bowl, The Manoff Group developed a bowl specifically for young children. The bowl is specially marked with measurements corresponding to the correct amount of food that young children should be given according to their age and has handles as caregivers requested for feeding and to hang it after washing. This locally-produced technology has been introduced in six Latin American countries and recently in Zambia. Caregivers report that their children learned the bowl was theirs and they would point to it when they wanted to eat, reminding the caregiver.
