“…Given its relevance, the impact of maternal ED on children's feeding and mealtimes is an area that has received considerable attention. Feeding the infant is a crucial task of parenting not only because it can absorb considerable part of the day in the early stages of life but also because it is one of the most important means of communication between mother and child (Silva et al 2016).…”

To provide an overview of the impact of maternal eating disorders (ED) on child development in a number of domains including feeding and eating behaviour, neuropsychological profile and cognitive development, psychopathology and temperament. PubMed, Embase and PsychInfo were searched for studies exploring the impact of maternal ED on children between January 1980 and September 2018. Initial search yielded 569 studies. After exclusion, 32 studies were reviewed. Overall, available evidence shows that children of mothers with ED are at increased risk of disturbances in several domains. They exhibit more difficulties in feeding and eating behaviours, display more psychopathological and socio-emotional difficulties, and they are more likely to be described as having a difficult temperament. Maternal ED have an impact on child psychological, cognitive and eating behaviours, and might affect the development of ED in the offspring. Future research should focus on resilience and on which protective factors might lead to positive outcomes. These factors can be then used as therapeutic and preventative targets.

“…A study on infant feeding conducted by Goes et al 23 in Lisbon, Portugal, reported greater involvement of mothers (93.1%) compared to fathers (6.9%). According to Silva, Costa, and Giugliani, 24 the interaction with the person who feeds the child determines if the feeding will be responsive or not and will influence the child's eating habits and relationship with food. Other studies carried out in Brazil report that help from a relative at home increases the risk of interrupting breastfeeding before the infant reaches four months of age.…”

Objective: To evaluate the intake of ultra-processed foods by children under 24 months of age from the city of Montes Claros and identify factors associated with this consumption. Methods: This is a population-based cross-sectional study with data collected from households through interviews. A questionnaire assessed the sociodemographic conditions of the family, maternal and child characteristics, and food consumption. We adopted a multivariate model to identify factors associated with the intake of ultra-processed foods. Results: A total of 545 children participated in this study, of whom 74.3% consumed some kind of ultra-processed food. The factors most strongly associated with this consumption were children older than six months, infants who were not breastfed, households with up to three residents, and the main caregiver of the child being someone other than the mother. Conclusions: Children under 24 months start consuming ultra-processed products at an early age, replacing foods considered natural and healthy. This study can contribute to guide health professionals in counseling families about feeding in the first years of life, emphasizing the proper introduction of complementary feeding and discouraging the consumption of ultra-processed products.

“…The literature demonstrates the pertinence of the learning process in the formation of feeding behaviors, and that stimuli can last throughout childhood/adolescence and even into adulthood. 31 , 32 , 33 Furthermore, there is a positive relationship between eating with the family and interacting with family members. 33 Thus, the presence of the child in the same environment as the rest of the family while they are eating meals - in conjunction with healthy foods - is of great importance in aiding the implantation/continuation of the method.…”

Objective: To review the scientific findings on the baby-led weaning method (BLW) in the context of complementary feeding.Data sources: Two independent examiners searched the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE)/PubMed database in August 2016. No time-period was defined for the publication dates. The following descriptors were used: “baby-led weaning” OR “baby-led” OR “BLW”. Inclusion criteria were: original studies that were available in English, and which addressed the BLW method. Exclusion criteria were: references in other languages, opinion articles and literature reviews, editorials and publications that did not elaborate on the intended subject. Of the 97 references identified, 13 were included in the descriptive synthesis.Data synthesis: The BLW group of babies, when compared to the traditional eating group, were less prone to being overweight, less demanding of food, and ate the same foods as the family. The number of choking episodes did not differ between groups. Mothers who opted for the implementation of BLW had higher levels of schooling, held managerial positions at work, and were more likely to have breastfed until the sixth month of the child’s life. Concerns were raised about messes made during meals, wasting food, and choking, but most of the mothers recommended adopting the method. Health professionals were hesitant to indicate this method.Conclusions: BLW was recommended by mothers who followed the method with their own children. However, concerns have been reported, which, coupled with professionals’ fears about the inability of infants to self-feed, reflect a lack of knowledge about the method.
