After this feeding schedule has been completed, all families are provided with a total of 100 jars of age-appropriate fruits and/or meals with vegetables, depending on the condition they are in, up until the child is approximately 12 months of age (distributed on five different occasions; 20 jars per occasion). Parents are free to decide whether they want to feed their baby using homemade foods or the jars provided to them. The provision of these foods serves as a means to facilitate prolonged exposure to vegetables in the repeated vegetable exposure conditions by making sure age-appropriate meals containing vegetables are available to the families. Whether or not families use these jars and how much the child eats of these jars is reported by the mother. Timing of intervention sessions Fox MK, Pac S, Devaney B, Jankowski L.

In some cases, combinations of anticonvulsants (such as carbamazepine) and tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline) can reduce the duration and intensity of pain from first bite syndrome. But medication can’t cure it. In short, to promote vegetable exposure in the first year of eating complementary foods the method of repeated exposure to vegetables is used because it has been found to be the most effective way to increase vegetable intake and liking in infants [ 40, 81]. To support this method, we motivate mothers both during and after the feeding schedule to offer their child vegetables daily. From an analysis of risk factors and determinants that may influence children’s vegetable consumption we selected the determinants knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, skills, modelling, availability of vegetables, beliefs of the parent, positive reinforcement, and costs to target in the intervention.

In recent years a number of randomized controlled trials to promote responsive feeding have been performed, some of which incorporated the discipline component described above [ 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62] whereas others merely focused on teaching parents how to effectively respond to the hunger and satiety cues of their child [ 53, 54]. However, none of these interventions focused on promoting responsive or sensitive feeding alone. Instead, they incorporated a much broader range of topics such as dietary advice, advice on general feeding practices, guidelines for physical activity, or even more broad advice on how to manage the sleeping and crying behavior of the child. As such, it is impossible to isolate the specific effect of responsive feeding on the diet and eating behavior of the child, and whether this is in fact an element that should be targeted to promote healthy eating patterns. Moreover, all previous trials evaluated changes in parenting behavior via self-report questionnaires, whereas expert observations of parent-child interaction is considered the gold standard to measure parenting behavior [ 63]. An important disadvantage of self-reports of parenting behavior specifically is that it is questionable whether these data represent the actual parenting behavior parents show, or rather attitudes about what they think they are or should be doing. Indeed, the correlation between self-reported and observed parenting behavior is often low, both in the field of parental feeding [ 64, 65, 66] and in other fields [ 67]. Therefore, we will test the effectiveness of an intervention focusing solely on the enhancement of sensitive feeding, by evaluating its outcomes using repeated observations of family meals at home in addition to self-reports.

Appointments at Mayo Clinic

At t 12, t 18, t 24, and t 36 vegetable intake is measured by asking mothers to fill out web-based 24-h recalls on three randomly assigned, non-consecutive days using the online program, Compl-eat, developed by Wageningen University and Research. Compl-eat is based on the multiple pass method [ 85] to increase accuracy of dietary recalls and uses the Dutch food composition table [ 86] to calculate energy and nutrient intake. The program was adapted to assess the diets of infants and young children for this study (e.g., inclusion of smaller portion sizes, and special baby foods). The recall days are scheduled in advance. The parent is provided with a paper food diary to be filled out throughout the day if the child is not in the parents care, but for instance with a babysitter or at a day-care center, making it possible for the parent to enter the data in Compl-eat afterwards. In addition, the parent is asked to weigh all vegetables consumed by the child on a digital scale. Instructions on how to fill out Compl-eat are given during the home visits of t 12, t 18, t 24, and t 36; invitations to fill out the recalls are sent after the home visits.
