Promoting Responsive Feeding During Breastfeeding, Bottle-Feeding, and the Introduction to Solid Foods Summary

Promoting Responsive Feeding During Breastfeeding, Bottle-Feeding, and the Introduction to Solid Foods by Alison Ventura (Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Public Health, Department of Kinesiology and Public Health, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA)

Promoting Responsive Feeding During Breastfeeding, Bottle-Feeding, and the Introduction to Solid Foods addresses how caregiver feeding practices and styles shape the quality and outcome of feeding interactions during infancy. Emphasis is placed on how the quality and nature of caregiver-child interactions during breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and the introduction to solid foods shape the development of children's eating behaviors, growth trajectories and chronic disease risk. The book also considers the potential influence of broader contextual factors on early feeding interactions, including how psychological, social, cultural and economic factors may influence caregivers' abilities to implement feeding recommendations.
