Contributions of authors
YS, MDO, and GC contributed to the drafting of the protocol. Originally, YS developed the search strategy and performed the searches; YS and GC selected studies for relevance; YS and GC extracted the data; YS entered all the data into RevMan and drafted and completed the review. MDO provided expertise and guidance and contributed to the writing and editing of the review. GC extracted and double checked the data, provided methodological advice and helped to write the review.
For the updated version of this review, YS performed the initial screening of references, developed the corresponding flowchart, made the final selection of included studies, independently rated the study quality, extracted the data into Review Manager, prepared the 'Summary of findings' tables and made all amendments in the text. MDO provided expert guidance on many aspects of the update process and contributed to the editing of the review at all stages. AMB carried out independent screening of all citations located in the updated literature search, independently rated each study for eligibility and independently checked the data entry into Review Manager 5.1. GC provided methodological expertise and contributed to the risk of bias assessment.

Differences between protocol and review
-
At the protocol stage, individually‐randomised trials were excluded if 20% or more participants were lost to follow‐up in any of the comparison groups. This was considered a threshold flexible enough for RCTs on community‐based nutritional interventions. This exclusion criterion allowed review authors to straightforwardly dispose of trials with high risk of attrition bias due to the amount of incomplete outcome data. For the current version of the review, Professor Geraldine MacDonald, the Coordinating Editor of the CDPLPG suggested we remove this criterion. This decision was made after discussion and the main reasons were: the small number of RCTs retrieved by searches and the strategies to deal with missing data of primary studies available in the latest version of the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Higgins 2009).
-
Potential adverse effects of supplementary feeding such as decrease in breastfeeding rates, overweight and diarrhoea were added as secondary outcomes.
-
The 'Risk of bias' tool was changed by The Cochrane Collaboration during the preparation of the updated review.
-
The World Bank list of economies of Member States was used for the updated review (July 2009). Washington, DC, World Bank, July 2009: http://siteresources.worldbank.org/DATASTATISTICS/Resources/CLASS.XLS. The term 'developing countries' was replaced by low‐ and middle‐income countries.
