For healthy growth, how a baby is fed may be as important as what foods are offered?
Infants and young toddlers have a relatively good innate ability to regulate their energy intake but this capability can be influenced by parents’ feeding practices. Pressuring, forcing, bribing or rewarding with food can lead to unhealthy weight gain or loss, or unhealthy food choices when children are older, so it is important for parents to feed responsively, paying special attention to hunger and satiety cues.
