Maternal feeding practices and children's food intake during an ad libitum buffet meal
Prospective associations between parental feeding practices and children's oral processing behaviours
Previous research demonstrated that faster eating rates are linked with increased intake of energy during a meal. Here, we examined whether within-meal parental feeding practices show cross-sectional and prospective associations with children's oral processing behaviours and whether the previously demonstrated association between faster eating rates and higher energy intakes varies by parental feeding practices. A subset (n = 155) of children and…
