Survey and 10-Day Diary Data on Infant Nutrition, Development, and Home Learning Environment during the COVID-19 Pandemic from the LEARN-COVID Pilot Study

Abstract

The LEARN-COVID pilot study collected data on infants and their parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Assessments took place between April and July 2021. Parents (<em>N</em> = 357) from Switzerland (predominantly), Germany, and Austria answered a baseline questionnaire on their behaviour related to the pandemic, social support, infant nutrition, and infant regulation. Subsequently, parents (<em>n</em> = 222) answered a 10-day evening diary on infant nutrition, infant regulation, parental mood, and parental soothing behaviour. Data and documentation are stored on Zenodo, <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6946048" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6946048</a>. These data may be valuable to researchers interested in infant development and parenting during the pandemic as well as to researchers interested in daily variability in infant behaviour, parenting, and nutrition.
