Reciprocal associations between parental feeding practices and child eating behaviours from toddlerhood to early childhood: bivariate latent change analysis in the Gemini cohort
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘Data were from Gemini, a population-based sample of children born in England and Wales in 2007. Children’s eating behaviours and Parental feeding practices (PFPs) were measured at 15/16 months and 5 years using validated psychometric measures (n = 1,858 children).
