OBJECTIVE: To examine whether maternal reports of @entity1 eating behaviors are stable over time and whether eating behaviors are prospectively associated with @entity1017 . METHODS: In an ongoing study of @entity1 growth, weight and length were measured at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 5 months of age. Food responsiveness (FR), satiety responsiveness (SR), enjoyment of feeding (EF), and @entity1277 ( @entity1277 ) were assessed with the Baby Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to examine changes in eating behaviors from 2 weeks to 5 months. Simple Pearson correlations examined associations among eating behaviors across time and associations of eating behaviors with subsequent change in weight-for-length z-scores. RESULTS: Among 31 @entity1 studied from 2 weeks to 3 months, FR and SR remained consistent (P   <   0.05), and among 21 @entity1 studied from 3 to 5 months, FR, EF, and @entity1277 were consistent (P   <   0.01). @entity1 ate more quickly (P   <   0.01) and tended to have greater SR with age (P   =   0.09). Only @entity1277 at 3 months was associated with subsequent gain in weight-for-length (P   <   0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with previous research, @entity1277 was predictive of @entity1017 during infancy. Given that eating behaviors were largely consistent after 3 months of age, it may be important to encourage the development of healthy eating behaviors during early infancy.
