“…There has been some concern that a longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding (or even prolonged/sustained breastfeeding per se) might lead to problems with acceptance of solid food, i.e. of the new tastes and textures (1,3). It is important to keep in mind that sustained breastfeeding per se does not imply late introduction to other foods.…”

“…Nor does early introduction to solids equate to a timely introduction to chewable foods. Most researchers seem to agree that foods that require chewing should be introduced at about the ages of 6 and 8 mo to avoid later problems with the acceptance of lumpy food (2,3,14). A late introduction to chewable foods is probably equally detrimental to later acceptance whether the infant is breastfed or bottle fed (with formula or breast milk).…”

“…On the basis of some studies it is claimed that late introduction to solids increases the likelihood of later feeding problems. These studies concern 2 different aspects of food acceptance, namely the acceptance of new tastes (1), and the acceptance of "lumpy food" (2,3). Other studies have shown no detrimental effect of delaying the introduction of solids until 6 mo on the appetite or food acceptance (4), growth (5,6) or iron status (7).…”

“…Another fea ture of the study was to show that infants clas sified as mixed feeding were offered as many food items as the non-breast feeding group. The early offering of solid food as well as the smaller number of milk feedings may explain the observations made by Paine and Spegiorin [10] showing that the shorter the breast feeding the better was the acceptance of solid food at 18 months.…”

We studied the types of food, time of introduction, frequency and nutrient intake among 133 infants during the 1st year of life. A 24-hour dietary recall indicated that 42 different types of food, including mothers’ milk, were offered directly or in suitable preparations. Breast- and mixed-fed infants were likely to receive more milk feedings than non-breast-fed infants. Sugar and liquids such as tea, fruit juices and soft drinks were introduced at a very early age. The breast-fed babies were offered only teas before the 3rd month. Solid food was offered as early as at 4 months, regardless of breast or bottle feeding. Fe and vitamin A were estimated to be below the recommended dietary allowance in the group that was not receiving breast milk.

Infant feeding practices and later parent-reported feeding difficulties: a systematic review

et al. 2021

Context Early feeding practices may influence the acceptance of new foods and contribute to the development of feeding difficulties later in childhood. Objective The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the association of breastfeeding duration, timing of complementary feeding introduction, and feeding techniques with feeding difficulties or their subtypes, namely picky or fussy eating, food refusal, and food neophobia, in children older than 1 year of age. Data Sources Guidance from the Cochrane Collaboration and the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination was followed. MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO databases were searched up to December 2019. Additionally, references from included articles were screened. Study Selection Interventional and observational studies were eligible. Of the 3653 records obtained after the search strategy was applied, 21 observational studies (cohort, case-control, cross-sectional), many with important methodological limitations, and 1 randomized controlled trial were included. Data Extraction Three authors extracted data independently. Results Results were synthesized narratively. Twelve observational studies assessed the association of breastfeeding duration with parent-reported feeding difficulties. Longer duration of breastfeeding tended to be associated with fewer childhood feeding problems in the majority of studies, but the differences were often small and not significant. Eight observational studies that examined the timing of complementary feeding introduction in relation to parent-reported feeding difficulties showed inconsistent results. Baby-led weaning, as compared with spoon-feeding, was significantly associated with less fussiness at age 12 to 36 months in 1 of 5 studies. Conclusions This review showed no strong evidence to support the hypothesis that early feeding practices contribute significantly to specific parent-reported feeding difficulties in children older than 1 year of age. Additional methodologically rigorous studies are needed to confirm these findings. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO registration number CRD42018115792.
