Food preferences are formed in infancy and track into adulthood. Early childhood, particularly the first 1000 days, is therefore a window of opportunity to establish healthy dietary preferences. More particularly, breastfeeding and the introduction of complementary foods can set taste preferences and shape attitudes towards food (De Cosmi, 2017<\/a>; Hetherington, 2016;<\/a> Barends, 2019<\/a>). The health benefits of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables are very well documented with a clear consensus about their role in risk reduction of chronic diseases. However, their intake remains insufficient in many countries like the UK and the USA (Boeing, 2012<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the present study is to explore associations between feeding practices during infancy (breastfeeding and complementary feeding) and the frequency and variety of fruit and vegetables consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breastfeeding was associated with higher variety and frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption in childhood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this study, infants who were breastfed for less than 6 months consumed less variety of fruit and vegetables during childhood compared to those who were breastfed for 6 months.
In addition, being breastfed for less than 6 months was associated with lower frequency of fruit intake during childhood compared with being breastfed for 6 months. However, no association was observed with the frequency of vegetable intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing first fruit or vegetables during complementary feeding was associated with higher frequency and variety of fruit and vegetable consumption in childhood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of complementary foods has a key role in setting healthy eating behaviours, as infants begin to learn tastes and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to this study, first complementary food introduced to infants was associated with the frequency of fruit and vegetable intake during childhood. In fact, children who received fruits or vegetables first ate vegetables more frequently on average than children given cereals, while those given fruit (but not vegetables) ate fruit more frequently than children given cereals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, children who were given vegetables (but not fruit) as their first complementary food in infancy ate a wider variety of vegetables on average than those who were given cereal. On the other hand, children who were given fruit first ate a wider variety of fruit than those who were given cereals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplementing breastfeeding was not associated with fruit and vegetable consumption (frequency and variety), compared with exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mean fruit and vegetable frequency as well as fruit variety were identical for children who were supplemented with solids and\/or formula and those who were breastfed. Mean vegetable variety was slightly higher for children who were exclusively breastfed compared with children who were supplemented, but the difference was not significant. These findings suggest that supplementing breastfeeding with solids and\/or formula before 6 months was not associated with any differences in fruit and vegetable frequency and variety during childhood, compared with exclusive breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n <\/i>\n Methodology<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
  • Participants were drawn from the Mothers and their Children\u2019s Health study (MatCH), which is a sub-study of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women\u2019s Health (ALSWH), conducted in 2016\/2017. <\/li>\n
  • Mothers completed the Children\u2019s Dietary Questionnaire on feeding practices in infancy (breastfeeding duration, use of formula, first complementary food) and children\u2019s fruit and vegetable frequency (number of times eaten) and variety (number of different types eaten) in the past 24 h.<\/li>\n
  • A total of 4,981 children aged 2\u201312 years was included in the study.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n <\/i>\n Key messages<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n
      \n
    • Infancy is an important window of opportunity for dietary intervention, as feeding practices can shape food tastes and preferences. <\/li>\n
    • Stronger evidence was found for the role of complementary feeding than for breastfeeding on childhood fruit and vegetable intake. <\/li>\n
    • Guidance to parents on infant feeding could encourage a vegetables-first approach or at the least encourage the use of fruit and vegetables rather than cereal at the early stages complementary feeding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Getting a child to eat fruit and vegetables is one of the best guarantees of good short- and long-term health. But what is the best way to do this ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Three articles provide arguments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • The first studied the effect of breastfeeding in children aged two to 12 years: breastfeeding for six months or more and introducing fruit and vegetables instead of cereals during complementary feeding increased intake and variety.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • The second focused on the most beneficial educational attitude of parents, which consisted of a coercive approach, structured practices and support for autonomy. Fruit and vegetable consumption was linked to confidence stemming from an upbringing combining incentives, example-setting and a degree of flexibility.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • The third explored the impact of the example set by the father. Children's once- or twice-daily consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables was strongly correlated with that of their fathers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Being breastfed, having persuasive and yet flexible parents who set an example, and having a father who is also committed to this model are therefore three key factors in fruit and vegetable consumption from early childhood to adolescence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","post_title":"73 - May 2022","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"parental-feeding-practices-and-dietary-behaviour-of-children-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-10-24 17:19:20","post_modified_gmt":"2024-10-24 15:19:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/?post_type=revue&p=84205","menu_order":59,"post_type":"revue","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"position":"1","references":""},"yoast_head":"\nFeeding practices in infancy and fruit and vegetable consumption in childhood<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Food preferences are formed in infancy and track into adulthood.
