In early infancy, the method of feeding from either the breast or the bottle results in the establishment of different patterns of meal size across the day. In breast-fed infants the change in size of meals across the 24 hr period is evidence for the acquisition of an anticipatory pattern of intake which is unlikely to occur in bottle-fed infants because of restrictions in the amount of milk offered at each meal. Other measures of behaviour within feeds support the development of a baby-controlled style of feeding in breast-fed infants compared with a mother-controlled feeding style in the bottle-fed infant. Associated with these patterns of intake are variations in the perceived hunger of infants by their mothers, with hunger variation being recognized with greater frequency in females than in males. In older infants the establishment of cultural rules of eating and the use of parental strategies to manipulate eating in children provide further evidence for the importance of learning in the establishment of early feeding behaviour.
在婴儿早期，母乳喂养或奶瓶喂养的方式会导致全天形成不同的进食量模式。母乳喂养的婴儿在24小时内进食量的变化表明他们获得了一种预期性的摄入模式，而奶瓶喂养的婴儿由于每餐提供的奶量有限，不太可能出现这种模式。与奶瓶喂养的婴儿由母亲控制的喂养方式相比，母乳喂养的婴儿在进食过程中的其他行为指标支持了由婴儿主导的喂养方式的发展。与这些摄入模式相关的是母亲所感知到的婴儿饥饿程度的差异，母亲们更频繁地察觉到女婴的饥饿程度变化，而非男婴。对于年龄稍大的婴儿，饮食文化规则的建立以及父母控制孩子饮食的策略进一步证明了学习在早期喂养行为形成中的重要性。
