The feeding relationship
• Nourishing and nurturing
• Supports developmental tasks

Development of Feeding Behaviors
Age Reflexes Feeding Behavior
B-3 months Root, suck-swallow-breathe
Suckling pattern of feeding
4-6 months Fading root/bite reflex
Mature suck, brings objects to mouth, munching pattern
7-9 months Normal gag develops
Munching, rotary chewing, sits alone, holds bottle alone
10-12 months
Bites, brings food to mouth, drinks from cup, spoon feed

Stages of Development
• Homeostasis
• Attachment
• Separation and individuation

Stages
Age Infant Development
1-3 months homeostasis state regulation
neurophysiologic stability
2-6 months attachment “falling in love”
affective engagement and interaction
6-36 months separation and individualization
differentiation
behavioral organization and control

The Feeding Relationship
• The Relationship– Parent– Child
• Tasks– Parent– Child
![Page 7: The Feeding Relationship](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7024af795970268b49bc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tasks
• Infant– time
– how much
– speed
– preferences
• Parent– food choices
– support
– nurturing
– structure and limits
– safety

Homeostasis
• Infant cycles through physical states
• Parent provides a safe and comfortable environment
• Reflex feeding transforms to self regulation of hunger
![Page 9: The Feeding Relationship](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7024af795970268b49bc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Attachment
• Emotional/social interactions
• Parent reciprocates/engages
• Infant’s emotional and physical needs reinforced
![Page 10: The Feeding Relationship](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7024af795970268b49bc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Separation
• Struggle for autonomy
• Parent supports autonomy and guides daily structure
• Emotional needs distinguished from physical needs
![Page 11: The Feeding Relationship](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7024af795970268b49bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Children do best with feeding when they have both control and support
![Page 12: The Feeding Relationship](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7024af795970268b49bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Feeding
• “is a reciprocal process that depends on the abilities and characteristics of both the parent and the child…Once feeding starts, the parent and child work on the process with more or less flexibility and skill” Satter J Pediatr 117(2) 1990

• Problems established early in feeding persist into later life and generalize into other areas
• Ainsworth and Bell– feeding interactions in
early months were replicated in play interactions after 1st year

Healthy Feeding Cycle
• Child associates hunger with need to eat
• Child communicates need
• Parent reads cues and provides
• Child communicates satiety
• Parent responds
• Positive experience gained
• Parent anticipates physical needs

Feeding DifficultiesRelated to maturity, medical and
neurodevelopmental status
• State control• endurance• suck-swallow-breath coordination• sleep-wake cycles• cues and demand behavior• temperament• patterns of oral-motor development

Focus Group Parent Responsefrom Gaining and Growing Website
• “ I wasn’t afraid to bring home a baby that weighed only 3 pounds, but I was afraid to bring home a baby that wouldn’t eat”
![Page 26: The Feeding Relationship](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7024af795970268b49bc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Parent ResponseSurvey of Parents of Premature Group
• “ I felt I had to choose between growth and force feeding”
• “At 9 months, height/weight is proportionate, but we are still having to force feed”
• “I’ll have concerns until she is at 5% for everything”
• “even though my son had no difficulties with the mechanics of eating and no food issues, we had lots of questions, much anxiety, and too much stress…”
