“…The family has a determinant role during the learning process of the alimentation of the children, so that the life habits of the parents, the parenting styles and their interaction with the children are significant for the formation of the infant's eating habits. 5,12,20,21 In the analysis of food consumption, almost all children had main meals daily with the family at home. This finding is important considering that the family has a set of values, beliefs, knowledge and eating habits that may constitute a protective or risk factor for health.…”

“…Unlike the adults who make their food choices, children under the age of five rely on their parents for food consumption, which is a reflection of their family environment. 5 Infant and pre-school feeding in Brazil is characterized by the early consumption of sweets and soft drinks. 28 A survey with 4,839 children under two years of age found a high prevalence of sugary drinks consumption, which was associated with family habits.…”

“…Food interaction presupposes that meals of parents and children are common. 5 However, although some parents are concerned about providing healthier food for their children, they do not consume the same type of food, which may influence the child's acceptance of it.…”

“…43 The mother's ability to read cues helps her respond by modifying her behavior and the environment to allow the child's full engagement in the feeding process. 44 Additionally, this caregiver support provides a foundation for the child's participation in the social-emotional facet of mealtime. 45 This increases the enjoyment and satisfaction of feeding and assists the child in building bonds with his parents.…”

Oral Feeding Difficulties in Children With Short Bowel Syndrome: A Narrative Review

2017

Children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) with associated intestinal failure may be unable to absorb sufficient nutrients to sustain life. Improvements in the medical management of SBS, including use of parenteral nutrition, has significantly increased life expectancy. Independence from parenteral nutrition further improves quality of life. However, children living with SBS often develop oral aversions and feeding difficulties. There is limited research and information on which to base interventions that will preserve and develop oral motor and feeding skills. The aims of this article are to explore what is known about children with SBS who exhibit oral aversion/feeding difficulties and to suggest research for possible future interventions that could help these children overcome oral aversion, eat orally, and increase participation and satisfaction in mealtimes. This review explores the complexity of feeding children with SBS. Three underlying themes emerged: physical, developmental, and social aspects of eating and mealtimes. Interdisciplinary teams are needed to effectively address these complex oral feeding problems. Accurate identification the underlying issues will allow healthcare providers to develop interventions to improve feeding outcomes for children with SBS. Future research should focus on evaluating the effectiveness of interventions that address each of the underlying issues.

This study aims to investigate breastfeeding, infant feeding behaviours, and attitudes to feeding amongst women with eating disorders (ED) and healthy controls (HC). Women with active ED (C-ED; N = 25), past ED (P-ED; N = 28), and HC (N = 46) were recruited in pregnancy and followed up longitudinally. Post-natally infant feeding behaviour was investigated at 8 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year and parental modelling at 1 and 2 years. Women with P-ED and C-ED reported higher concerns about their infant being/becoming overweight compared with HC, respectively, at 8 weeks and 6 months and 6 months only post-partum. Women with P-ED showed less awareness of infant hunger and satiety cues compared with HC at 8 weeks. Despite few differences between ED and HC, both P-ED and C-ED predicted maternal attitudes and worries about child's eating. These are likely to impact on child's growth and later eating behaviours and might impact on the intergenerational transmission of ED.
