Toddler dietary patterns from the INSIGHT randomized clinical trial comparing responsive parenting versus control: A latent class analysis
Authors' conclusion
Mothers' structure-based feeding practices in infancy, as well as some control-based feeding practices, were associated with later healthier toddler dietary patterns.
Study context
- Population
- Primiparous mothers and their infants; toddler diet by Food Frequency Questionnaire, anthropometrics at age 2 years
- Participants
- 229 mothers
- Comparison
- Responsive parenting intervention vs safety control
Methodological detailslatent class analysis
- Latent class analysis
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Toddler dietary patterns (latent class analysis)
High fruits and vegetables (HFV)
31%
Meat, potatoes, and added sugars (MPAS)
24%
High juice, low fruits and vegetables (JLFV)
45%
Further findings
Maternal feeding practices and dietary pattern
- More structure-based feeding: toddlers more likely to have HFV than MPAS and JLFV
- Maternal restriction associated with HFV
- Food as a reward associated with MPAS and JLFV
