Childhood obesity is still a major global health issue. The preschool age (2-5 years) has been identified as a critical period to intervene, Mobile technology (mHealth) has been successful for weight loss and behavior changes in adults. This proposed randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of an 6-month intervention program, the Mobile-based intervention to stop obesity in preschoolers (MINISTOP) 2.0 mobile phone app integrated in primary child health care for parents of children aged 2.5 years. The MINISTOP 2.0 app is built on the previous MINISTOP 1.0 app. Five hundred children will be recruited at their routine visit at 2.5 years of age and after baseline measures randomized to the intervention or control group. In addition, the investigators will assess acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of the app by parents and primary child health care nurses.
