Previous research has found associations between parental feeding practices and children's eating behaviour and weight status. Prospective research is needed to elucidate these relationships.
One hundred and fifty-six mothers of 2- to 4-year-old children completed questionnaires including measures of maternal feeding practices (pressure to eat, restriction, monitoring and modelling of healthy eating), child eating behaviour (food responsiveness, food fussiness and interest in food), and mother reported child height and weight. The questionnaire was repeated 12 months later. Regression analyses were used to find longitudinal associations between maternal feeding practices, child eating behaviour and child body mass index (BMI).
Modelling of healthy eating predicted lower child food fussiness and higher interest in food one year later, and pressure to eat predicted lower child interest in food. Restriction did not predict changes in child eating behaviour. Maternal feeding practices did not prospectively predict child food responsiveness or child BMI.
Maternal feeding practices appear to influence young children's eating behaviour but not weight status in the short term.
先前的研究发现，父母的喂养方式与儿童的饮食行为和体重状况之间存在关联。需要前瞻性研究来阐明这些关系。
156 名 2 至 4 岁儿童的母亲完成了问卷调查，其中包括母亲喂养方式（进食压力、限制、监督和健康饮食示范）、儿童饮食行为（食物反应、食物挑剔和对食物的兴趣）以及母亲报告的儿童身高和体重。该问卷在 12 个月后重复。回归分析用于发现母亲喂养方式、儿童饮食行为和儿童体重指数（BMI）之间的纵向关联。
健康饮食示范一年后预测儿童食物挑剔程度降低和对食物兴趣增加，而进食压力预测儿童对食物兴趣降低。限制并不预示儿童饮食行为的变化。母亲的喂养方式并不能预测儿童的食物反应或儿童的 BMI。
母亲的喂养方式在短期内似乎会影响幼儿的饮食行为，但不会影响体重状况。
