Sucking patterns are not predictive of further feeding development in healthy preterm infants
2020, Infant Behavior and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :In addition not all infants achieved full oral motor skills within the time frame of term born infants. Term born infants usually show variable oral motor abilities while learning to eat, and most achieve assisted spoon feeding skills between 6 and 9 months, specifically within 2–10 weeks of being introduced to spoon feeding (Delaney & Arvedson, 2008; Pridham, 1990; Silva Telles & Sperandeo, 2008; Van den Engel-Hoek et al., 2014). These time frames of skill acquisition differ greatly from our data of preterm infants.
Differences in parental feeding styles and practices and toddler eating behaviour across complementary feeding methods: Managing expectations through consideration of effect size
2019, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :After estimating the effect size of the differences in the current samples, the magnitude of any differences in the toddler's eating behaviour associated with BLW is very small. Although there has been some previous research on the sources of information parents use when it comes to infant feeding (Pridham, 1990; Carruth & Skinner, 2000), these studies quickly become outdated as new and more accessible ways of obtaining information, e.g. the internet and social media becoming available. There is only one very recent study examining the information sources utilised by parents following BLW in parents in New Zealand (Fu et al., 2018).
Navigating motherhood and maternal transitional infant feeding: Learnings for health professionals
2018, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :This feeding instinct was found to be nurtured by supportive family members, like-minded peers and open-minded health professionals, but undermined by prescriptive, judgmental or conflicting advice. The sparse literature on where parents obtain their transitional infant feeding information supports the study finding that an array of conflicting lay and professional sources compete alongside personal experiences and beliefs (Pridham, 1990; Spence, Hesketh, Crawford, & Campbell, 2016). Furthermore, acceptance of advice from family and friends in this transitional feeding stage may reflect similar lived experiences, including feeding to influence infant growth and contentment (Harrison et al., 2017; Pridham, 1990).
How important are the influencing factors to the decision on whether to provide seafood in infant and young child feeding?
2017, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :Previous research has also revealed that availability and confidence to cook seafood in addition to the preferences of the partner and children, influences provision of seafood to the family (McManus, Burns, Howat, Cooper, & Fielder, 2007). During infant and young child feeding (IYCF) parents commonly receive advice and information on feeding practices (Alder et al., 2004; Bryant, 1982; Carruth & Skinner, 2001; Hoddinott, Craig, Britten, & McInnes, 2010; Horodynski et al., 2007; Pridham, 1990). There is a lack of published work investigating the advice parents are provided on the inclusion of seafood for infant feeding, however a study with pregnant women has shown that messages on consuming seafood are often confusing and contradictory (Bloomingdale et al., 2010).
Factors influencing mothers' decisions on whether to provide seafood during early years’ feeding: A qualitative study
2017, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :This complementary feeding phase, also known as weaning, is a period in a parent's life when dietary views and behaviours may change and when parents receive a wide range of advice and information on feeding practices (Bloomingdale et al., 2010). Parents both actively seek and passively gain advice and information on infant feeding from a variety of sources, such as health professionals, family and friends, and varying forms of media (Carruth & Skinner, 2001; Hoddinott, Craig, Britten, & McInnes, 2010, 2012; Horodynski et al., 2007; Pridham, 1990; Sylvester & Wade, 2004). Evidence suggests that mothers often use multiple and concurrent sources of information over time (Carruth & Skinner, 2001); however, infant feeding decisions may also be influenced by parents' socioeconomic backgrounds, with mothers of differing socioeconomic status relying on advice from different sources (Carruth & Skinner, 2001; Gildea & Sloan, 2009; Heinig et al., 2009).
