In the first year of life, infants go through a crucial transition in feeding when they are introduced to solid food. However, the literature is lacking a good description of the changes in feeding behaviors during this transition. The current paper addresses this by means of a multiple case study focusing on how caretaker and infant build a new and effective feeding dialogue after the transition to solid food. It describes the development of stable interaction patterns, as they emerge during this transition. Feeding interactions are studied directly through repeated naturalistic observations. The results show that while the interaction behavior of some caretaker-infant dyads remains variable, others stabilize quickly. However, ultimately most dyads self-organize their behaviors towards a stable feeding dialogue, which is both sensitive and effective. Evidence for the existence of four characteristic patterns was found. We argue that this finding can be interpreted as the result of a co-regulation process of consensual frames. The study also offers a framework for analyzing other processes of co-regulation that occur throughout human development.
在生命的第一年，婴儿在引入固体食物时经历了喂养的关键转变。然而，文献中缺乏对这一转变过程中喂养行为变化的很好描述。本文通过一项多案例研究解决了这一问题，该研究侧重于在过渡到固体食物后，看护者和婴儿如何建立新的有效的喂养对话。它描述了在这一过渡期间稳定的互动模式是如何发展的。通过反复的自然观察来直接研究喂养互动。结果表明，虽然一些看护者-婴儿对的互动行为仍然多变，但其他的则很快稳定下来。然而，最终大多数对都将自己的行为调整为一种敏感而有效的稳定喂养对话。发现了存在四种特征模式的证据。我们认为，这一发现可以解释为共识框架的共同调节过程的结果。该研究还为分析人类发展过程中发生的其他共同调节过程提供了一个框架。
