A controlling maternal child-feeding style has been show to have negative consequences for child weight and eating style for children over the age of 12 months. Maternal restriction is associated with increased consumption of food if given free access and child overweight. Pressure to eat conversely is associated with picky eating and a lower child weight. Little research however has considered the influence of maternal feeding style under 1 year, during the period when infants are being introduced to complementary foods. In the current study, 642 mothers with a child aged 6-12 months completed a copy of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (Birch, Fisher, Grimm-Thomas, Markey, Sawyer & Johnson 2001), the Dutch Eating Questionnaire (Van Strien, Frijters, Bergers, & Defares 1986) and reported infant and maternal weight. Differences in maternal feeding style were identifiable during this period and related to infant weight and maternal weight and eating style. Infant weight was positively correlated with maternal use of restriction, monitoring and concern for infant weight. Moreover, mothers high in restraint, external and emotional eating reported higher levels of concern for infant weight, restriction and monitoring and perceived their infants to be larger. The findings suggest that the extent to which controlling feeding practices are used is influenced by infant and maternal personal weight concerns even at this early stage. Potentially, these early behaviours could have long term consequences for child weight and eating style.
控制性的母婴喂养方式已被证明对 12 个月以上儿童的体重和饮食方式有负面影响。如果给予自由进食的机会，母亲的限制与食物摄入量的增加有关，而与儿童超重有关。相反，进食压力与挑食和儿童体重较低有关。然而，很少有研究考虑到在婴儿开始食用补充食品的 1 岁以下期间，母亲喂养方式的影响。在目前的研究中，642 名 6-12 个月大的儿童的母亲完成了一份《儿童喂养问卷》（Birch、Fisher、Grimm-Thomas、Markey、Sawyer 和 Johnson，2001 年）、《荷兰饮食问卷》（Van Strien、Frijters、Bergers 和 Defares，1986 年），并报告了婴儿和母亲的体重。在此期间，可以识别出母婴喂养方式的差异，并与婴儿体重以及母亲的体重和饮食方式有关。婴儿体重与母亲使用限制、监测和关注婴儿体重呈正相关。此外，高约束、外部和情绪进食的母亲报告了更高水平的对婴儿体重、限制和监测的关注，并认为她们的婴儿更大。研究结果表明，即使在这个早期阶段，婴儿和母亲个人体重问题也会影响控制喂养行为的程度。这些早期行为可能对儿童的体重和饮食方式产生长期影响。
