Mealtime Interactions and Risk of Toddler Obesity

The purpose of this observational study is to conduct 18-, 24-, and 36-month assessments with mother-toddler dyads who participated in a study that is testing the effects of a multicomponent lifestyle intervention as a means to prevent excessive gestational weight gain in obese women. Specifically, dyads will be invited to participate in home-based assessments to videotape an evening meal, have anthropometric measures taken, and complete study questionnaires. The overall goal is to understand factors related prospectively to responsive feeding between mothers and toddlers at 18 months; determine whether responsive feeding at 18 and 24 months predicts change in zBMI and adiposity from 18-36 months; and explore which factors are most strongly predictive of child zBMI change from birth to 36 months.

Inclusion criteria

  • Mother participated in clinical trial #NCT01545934
  • Child 18-36 months old

Exclusion criteria

  • Child chronic health conditions that could affect feeding or growth (diagnosed feeding disorders, use of feeding tube) or could influence the mealtime interaction (significant food allergies or dietary restrictions, diagnosed psychiatric disorders, or pervasive developmental delays).

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Responsive feeding

    Time frame: 18- and 24-months

    The Responsiveness to Child Feeding Cues Scale will be used to code maternal responsive feeding. Primary outcomes are: a) maternal responsiveness to toddler fullness cues.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Child Weight Status

    Time frame: birth, 6-, 12-, 18-, 24- and 36-months

    zBMI will be computed at each time point
