الوصف: In many Western countries, infants are traditionally introduced to solid foods through spoon-fed pureed foods (parent-led weaning [PLW]), but an alternative approach known as "baby-led weaning" (BLW) has become increasingly popular. With BLW, children participate in family meals and, when they show interest, caregivers provide food that they can eat independently. BLW is not recommended by the WHO Guidelines on Complementary Feeding; however, these guidelines advocate “responsive feeding”, i.e., feeding in response to the child’s hunger and satiation. Responsiveness to feeding cues is central to the hypothesis that a mismatch between a child's internal state and the caregiver's behavior may alter self-regulation in food consumption and increase the risk of being overweight. Responsive feeding has important implications beyond eating behaviour, as feeding cues are among those infant cues that promote the development of a secure attachment with the caregiver. We investigated the relationship between the complementary feeding method and maternal responsiveness to infant feeding cues in 159 Italian typically-developing 8-month-old infants. Mothers reported the complementary feeding method used (PLW, BLW, or mixed), and provided demographic information. We recorded one meal for each child during a videocall and then coded information including the type of food consumed (puree food, finger food or mix) and the proportion of time the infant self-fed. To rate the maternal responsiveness to infant hunger and satiety cues, we scored the videos using the Responsiveness to Child Feeding Cues Scale (Hodges et al., 2013). Maternal responsiveness to infant receptiveness and fullness cues were significantly correlated (r = .270, p = .001), but mothers were more responsive to infants’ receptiveness than fullness cues (t157 = 9.138, p < .001). Multiple linear regressions tested whether gender, siblings, maternal education, proportion of self-feeding, exclusive breastmilk, and weaning age were related to responsiveness. For ...
