Parental use of distraction and portioning to reduce snack intake by children with avid eating behaviour
Open AccessKatie L Edwards, Abigail Pickard et al.ARTICLEAppetite2026Referencias: 31
INTRODUCTION: Children's avid eating behaviour is characterised by frequent snacking and food responsiveness. Parents need evidence-based advice on specific feeding practices, such as distraction techniques and portioning, that can be used to reduce children's intake of high energy-dense snacks. This experimental laboratory study tested the effectiveness of these feeding practices. METHODS: Parents and children (3-5 years; N = 129) who were ident…
Examining social and family contextual differences between parental feeding practice profiles in UK parents of pre-school children
Open AccessHannah Povall, Jacqueline Blissett et al.ARTICLEAppetite2026Referencias: 61
Prior research has utilised person-centred approaches to identify parent feeding profiles distinguished by controlling and structure-based practices, but less research has examined autonomy support-based practices, or how social and family contextual factors differ between feeding profiles. This study aimed to identify profiles of parents with similar patterns of feeding practices and to examine whether profiles differ on family contextual factor…
Parent reports of eating behaviour and feeding practices
Open AccessMar Lozano-Casanova, Katie L Edwards et al.ARTICLEAppetite2026Referencias: 43
Research on parental feeding practices has focused on mothers, often overlooking fathers' perspectives and the influence of child sex. This study examined (1) differences between fathers' and mothers' own eating behaviours, their use of feeding practices, and perceptions of their children's eating behaviours, and (2) the role of child sex in these perceptions and practices. Parents (N = 784; 145 fathers and 639 mothers) of preschoolers (3-5 years…

Application of the Behaviour Change Wheel to Optimise Infant Feeding in Bangladeshi and Pakistani Communities in the UK
Open AccessKayleigh Kwah, Naomi Bartle et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025
Breastfeeding rates in the UK are amongst the lowest in the world, largely driven by individual- and social-level barriers. Evidence has also highlighted that cultural factors can play an important part, such as for the UK South Asian community. Although aggregated breastfeeding data indicates that initiation is high amongst the UK South Asian population, sub-group data shows that this is substantially lower amongst people of Pakistani and Bangla…
Engaging South Asian Communities in the United Kingdom to Explore Infant Feeding Practices and Inform Intervention Development
Open AccessKayleigh Kwah, Maxine Sharps et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025
Breastfeeding in UK Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities is positively and negatively influenced by cultural beliefs and practices. The LIFT (Learning about Infant Feeding Together) project aimed to understand the determinants of infant feeding in these target communities and to engage them in the development of a culturally specific and acceptable infant feeding intervention to support breastfeeding. Reported here is phase one of the LIFT proje…

Daily manifestations of Children's avid eating behaviour and associations with temperament, parental feeding practices and wellbeing
Open AccessAbigail Pickard, Katie L Edwards et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Citada por: 2Referencias: 46
Recent evidence has identified four distinct eating profiles in 3-5-year-old children in the UK: avid, happy, typical, and avoidant. Among these profiles, children with avid eating behaviour exhibit high responsiveness to food cues, emotional eating, fast eating speed, and low responsiveness to fullness, posing risks for overeating and higher adiposity. Despite the implications, there is limited research on how avid eating manifests and impacts p…

The effect of Position and Availability interventions on adolescents’ food choice
Open AccessKatie L Edwards, Jacqueline Blissett et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 26
Interventions that alter characteristics of the food environment have been found to reduce energy intake in adults. However, few studies have examined the effect of Availability (reducing the number of higher energy options) and Position (altering the order of options) interventions on food choices by younger populations. Hence, this study examined the individual and combined effects of Availability and Position interventions on adolescents' ener…
Flavor learning and memory in utero as assessed through the changing pattern of olfactory responses from fetal to neonatal life
Open AccessBeyza Ustun-Elayan, Jacqueline Blissett et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Referencias: 42
Mammalian chemosensory experience begins in utero, where fetuses are exposed to odors and tastes from the mother's diet. Although the effects of prenatal flavor exposure in humans have been investigated postnatally in infant behaviors, longitudinal follow-up studies of fetal and neonatal responses are lacking. To address this, we compared fetal and neonatal facial reactions to specific odors by asking mothers to consume a single calorie-controlle…

Validation of the Teddy the Bear hunger and satiety rating scale in 3-5-year-old children
Open AccessKatie L Edwards, Abigail Pickard et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Referencias: 16
Using validated measures to assess children's hunger and satiety is important for eating behaviour research. Pictorial rating scales, such as the Teddy the Bear hunger and satiety rating scale (Bennett & Blissett, 2014), provide a child-friendly approach to assess hunger and satiety. The Teddy the Bear scale has been validated for use with primary school aged children (5-9 years); however, the scale has not been validated for use with preschooler…
Approach to Complementary Feeding and Infant Language Use
Open AccessClaire V Farrow, Claire Farrow et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2024
Emerging research suggests that a more infant-led approach to complementary feeding may confer benefits for child language, but these findings are based on parent report studies. Using an observational approach this study examines whether different complementary feeding experiences relate to infant language exposure and language use. Fifty-eight parents recorded a typical infant mealtime in the home (mean infant age = 14 months, SD = 4.15). Obser…

Understanding family food purchasing behaviour of low-income urban UK families
Open AccessCassandra Screti, Katie Edwards et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 6Referencias: 39
OBJECTIVE: Family food purchasing decisions have a direct influence on children's food environments and are powerful predictors of obesity and dietary quality. This study explored parents' capability, opportunities, and motivations regarding food purchasing for their families, as well as barriers and facilitators of healthy food purchasing behaviour, in an ethnically diverse, low-income area. DESIGN: Semi-structured interviews with parents of und…

Associations between parent and child latent eating profiles and the role of parental feeding practices
Open AccessAbigail Pickard, Claire Farrow et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 2Referencias: 34
Previous research employing the person-centred approach of Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) with parent-reported data of their child's eating behaviour identified four distinct eating profiles in 3-6-year-old children: typical, avid, happy, and avoidant eating (Pickard et al., 2023). In this follow-up study, the same parents were asked to self-report their own eating behaviour (N = 785) and LPA was conducted to determine the latent eating profiles o…
Differences in parental behaviour, emotions, and cognitions between children's eating profiles
Open AccessKatie L Edwards, Abigail Pickard et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 2Referencias: 45
A variety of parent psychological characteristics (e.g., wellbeing) have been related to children's eating behaviour. However, parent-child feeding interactions are reciprocal and complex, including relationships between parental cognitions, emotions, as well as the influence of children's varying appetitive traits. Using a person-centred approach, children's appetitive traits can be clustered into meaningful eating profiles. To date, no research…

Examining parents’ experiences and challenges of feeding preschool children with avid eating behaviour
Open AccessKatie L Edwards, Jacqueline Blissett et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 5Referencias: 51
Avid eating behaviours, including greater responsiveness to food cues and emotional over-eating, have been linked to child overweight and obesity. Parental feeding practices are modifiable components of a child's food environment and may be key levers for behaviour change in tailored interventions to support parents of children with avid eating behaviour. However, there is a lack of research examining parents' experiences in this context. This st…
Utilising online paradigms to explore the effect of boredom and sadness on children's snack choice
Open AccessRebecca Ann Stone, Emma Haycraft et al.ARTICLEAppetite2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 41
Emotional eating (EE) is defined as eating in response to negative emotions (e.g., sadness and boredom). Child temperament and parental feeding practices are predictive of child EE and may interact to shape child EE. Previous research has demonstrated that children eat more when they are experiencing sadness, however, boredom-EE (despite how common boredom is in children) has yet to be explored experimentally using remote methodologies. The curre…
Reciprocal associations between parental feeding practices and child eating behaviours from toddlerhood to early childhood
Open AccessAlice R Kininmonth, Moritz Herle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023
BACKGROUND: Parental feeding practices (PFPs) are a key component of a child's food environment. Parent-child feeding relationships are hypothesised to be bidirectional; however, to date, few large prospective studies have examined this, instead focussing on unidirectional relationships. As such, the direction of relationships between PFPs and children's eating behaviours remains unclear. METHODS: Data were from Gemini, a population-based sample …
