Consistency in infants' behavioural signalling of satiation during bottle-feeding.


ABSTRACT: Understanding the dynamics of feeding is essential for preventing accelerated weight gain during infancy, a risk factor for obesity.Because infants satiate on larger volumes of cow milk formula (CMF) than CMF enriched with the free amino acid glutamate (CMF?+?glu), we used this model system to determine whether infants displayed consistent behaviours despite satiating on lower volumes.In this laboratory-based, within-subject experimental study of ?4-month-old infants (n?=?41) and their mothers, infants were videotaped while feeding to satiation CMF on one test day and CMF?+?glu on the other, in counterbalanced order. Each video-recording was analysed frame-by-frame for frequency and timing of behaviours.Infants' behaviours were consistent in types and frequency but were displayed sooner when feeding CMF?+?glu compared with CMF. The less responsive the mother's feeding style, the less consistent the infant displayed behaviours across the two formula meals (P?=?0.05). Infants who spat up (a possible sign of overfeeding) consumed more formula (P?=?0.01) and had less responsive mothers (P?=?0.04) compared with the other infants.Infants are consistent in their behavioural displays during feeding at this developmental age. Regulation of intake and signalling of satiation during bottle-feeding are associated with formula composition and maternal feeding style.
