“…Mothers might have interacted more and/or differently if they had held their infants. However, this seems unlikely, since infants were held in a study by Dubignon and Cooper (1980) and similar results to those presented here were reported. The independence of maternal interactions and feeding behavior was further supported by the lack of correlation between feeding and maternal variables.…”

Feeding behaviors were measured during six feeding sessions distributed throughout a 24-hr period in 10 normal 3-day-old female infants. Infants were individually videotaped during feeding sessions at 13:00, 17:00, 21:00, 01:00, 05:00, and 09:00 hours. Total mealtime, nutritive sucking time, pause time, number of nutritive sucks, and amount of nutrient consumed were measured. None of these feeding variables were affected by the time of day an infant was fed. Maternal interactions with their infants such as auditory stimulation, caretaking touches or tender touches were unaffected by the time of a feed. These maternal behaviors did not correlate with any of the feeding variables. These findings suggest that 3-day-old infants experiencing routine nursery care do not express specific day-night feeding differences and that certain maternal behaviors do not influence the infants' feeding pattern.

“…At 2 months inefficient sucking was defined as duration of the initial sucking burst less than 60 seconds and less than 80% of time spent in sucking in the first 4 minutes. These cut-off points were based on studies by Dubignon and Cooper (1980), Lucas and colleagues (1981), and a pilot study by Ramsay and Gisel (1996). Borderline sucking was defined by the presence of only one of the above two conditions.…”

“…Biological markers of sucking, such as frequency, amplitude, and duration have been identified in neonates by several researchers (Dubignon andCooper 1980, Rybski andGisel 1984). However such markers are not yet available for identifying inefficient feeding caused by poor appetite and food texture intolerance, although oral-motor dysfunction in children with NFTT has been identified by Reilly and coworkers (1999).…”

This prospective study examined the relation of neonatal sucking to later feeding, postnatal growth, maternal postpartum depression, and feeding practices. Healthy infants of at least 37 weeks gestational age were recruited. At 1 week of age, a strain‐gage device was attached to the infant's cheeks during sucking to identify sucking efficiency. Two‐hundred and two infants (100 males, 102 females; mean age 39.6 weeks, SD 1.1 weeks) with efficient sucking and 207 (101 males, 106 females; mean gestational age 39.4 weeks, SD 1.2 weeks) with inefficient sucking were identified. Growth was measured at 2, 6, 10, and 14 months. Mothers completed a feeding questionnaire and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at the same testing points. While 18 infants (5%) showed a downward shift in growth, their clinical picture did not present as non‐organic failure to thrive (NFTT). Inefficient neonatal sucking did not predict postnatal growth, later feeding difficulties, nor maternal feeding practices, but concurrent inefficient feeding did. Maternal depression did not affect feeding practices, infant feeding abilities, nor growth, suggesting that the importance of maternal postpartum depression in association with feeding may be less than previously assumed. The term NFTT, therefore, merits reexamination and a more focused definition.

“…The nipple used by Dubignon and Campbell (1 969) measures positive as well as negative pressures, via a small balloon in its tip. T h e relationship between sucking and Auid delivery can be altered by the experimenter; in Dubignon and Cooper (1980), for example, fluid is delivered only on every tenth response.…”

Feeding and food intake in the first 2 years of life are more complex than at any later stage, because they are inherently social, they involve the learning of a completely new type of feeding behaviour over the weaning period, and they must respond to the requirements of growth as well as to the maintenance of energy balance. The methodological simplicity of studying bottle-feeding has led to a relative neglect of behavioural studies of breast-feeding; and a strong tendency to concentrate separately either on sucking or on the intake of solid foods has led to a relative neglect of the weaning period, when sucking and the intake of solid foods occur together. Yet breast-feeding is of major importance to child health; and it is over the weaning period that infants arc most at risk nutritionally, and most likely to develop feeding problems. In this +nd the following paper we outline and discuss the methods available for studying feeding in the period from birth until the child is fully established on solids, i.e. in sucklings and weanlings. In this paper we concentrate on taste preferences, sucking patterns and milk intake in sucklings, and on the regulation of milk intake. Although behavioural studies of brcastfeeding are greatly outnumbered by those of bottle-feeding, we have stratified our sampling of the relevant studies so that they are, as far as possible, equally represented in this review.
