GONZALEZ-TORRES, Marina Liliana; ESQUEDA SIFUENTES, Cynthia Nayeli y VACIO MURO, María de los Ángeles. Parental feeding practices and their relation to child eating behavior: Problems for explanation. Rev. Mex. de trastor. aliment [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.1, pp.129-142. ISSN 2007-1523. https://doi.org/10.22201/fesi.20071523e.2018.1.450.
Parental feeding practices influence the learning of healthy eating since childhood. But the lack of clear descriptions and inconsistent terminology of such practices hampers the understanding of their influence on such learning. From a selected review of scientific articles that included descriptions of parental feeding practices and relationships with any aspect of children’s eating behavior, we analyzed the behavioral descriptions stated in literature during the last decade (2006-2016) with the purpose to clarify relations among these and the children’s eating behavior. The results were categorized based on the relationships between feeding practices and the challenges in infant feeding behavior such as acceptance of new foods, development of food preferences, and food self-regulation. The results reflect some practices associated with both desirable and undesirable children’s eating behavior. Confusion in terminology and lack of consistency in behavioral descriptions of parental feeding practices and explanations of the mechanisms of such practices are still unknown. Some considerations are proposed for future research.
