Request a sales quotePromoting Responsive Feeding During Breastfeeding, Bottle-Feeding, and the Introduction to Solid Foods addresses how caregiver feeding practices and styles shape the quality and outcome of feeding interactions during infancy. Emphasis is placed on how the quality and nature of caregiver-child interactions during breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and the introduction to solid foods shape the development of children’s eating behaviors, growth trajectories and chronic disease risk. The book also considers the potential influence of broader contextual factors on early feeding interactions, including how psychological, social, cultural and economic factors may influence caregivers’ abilities to implement feeding recommendations.
- Highlights the importance of responsive, or infant-led feeding practices and styles
- Promotes high-quality caregiver-infant interactions during breastfeeding, bottle-feeding and the introduction to solid foods
- Discusses the socioemotional and cognitive benefits of high-quality feeding interactions
