Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between maternal restrictive feeding practices and children's weight, revealing a bidirectional association where a child's weight influences how restrictive mothers are with feeding.
- Data from 4689 mother-child pairs in the Generation R study provided insights into children's body composition and feeding practices over time, utilizing measurements of BMI, fat mass, and maternal concerns.
- The findings suggest that higher child BMI at age 4 predicts more restrictive feeding by age 10, with mothers' concerns about their child's weight partially mediating this relationship, indicating that restrictive feeding is more likely a response to a child's weight rather than a cause.
