Périodes et facteurs sensibles pour la formation précoce des préférences alimentaires

2015

Eating behavior is a complex, essentially learned activity critical for development and survival. It can be broken down into several components: when, how, what and how much to eat.1,2 We will mainly describe in this chapter the important periods and factors associated with the development of “what” to eat, or in other words, food preferences and choice. Other aspects relevant to the early development of eating behavior have been previously reviewed.2,3 Although it has previously been shown that food and flavor preference may be influenced by flavor exposure during the prenatal period4-6, we will focus in this chapter on the acquisition of food preferences consecutive to direct exposure of …

Young children’s eating behaviors: the links with fathers’ and mothers’ feeding practices

2019

International audience; Parental feeding practices – the strategies to control ‘what', ‘how much', ‘when', ‘where', and ‘how' a child eats1 – can be a tool to promote healthy eating habits from a very young age. To support parents in feeding in the best possible way, it is crucial to have a profound understanding of the precise effect of these feeding practices on both the qualitative (e.g., food neophobia) and quantitative dimensions (e.g., self-regulation of intake) of a child's eating behavior. Some feeding practices potentially have a beneficial effect on one dimension, but a deleterious effect on the other dimension. It is also important to gain more insights in the role of fathers in …

Détermination et transmission du goût. Importance des expériences précoces

2013

Compte tenu que les préférences et habitudes alimentaires sont acquises très précocement il est important de mieux comprendre l’impact des expériences précoces sur l’acceptation des fruits et légumes lors de la diversification alimentaire et pendant les premières années de vie. Au cours de cette présentation, des résultats d’études expérimentales ou observationnelles portant sur l’impact de l’allaitement, des pratiques de diversification (variété de l’offre, exposition répétée) et des pratiques éducatives sur l’acceptation des fruits et légumes seront présentées. La transmission des préférences alimentaires peut commencer au cours de la vie intra-utérine. Il a été montré que des nouveau-nés…

Alimentation et émotions : les rôles des pratiques éducatives parentales sur le comportement alimentaire de l’enfant

2011

The nutritional dimension of feeding has marked human history. Find something to eat was a pervasive human concern. The recent situation of food abundance has hatched new questions, particularly in relation to the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity. Eating, beyond its nutritional and cultural functions, has become a factor in health promotion. Recent scientific knowledge highlight the crucial role of early childhood in the development of eating behavior of the child, and the orientation of its later preferences. The first years of life are marked by major transitions in the feeding mode (umbilical mode, milk and solid foods). Flavor experiences in early childhood will constitute a s…

Use of added sugar, salt and fat in the first year in France and associated factors in the ELFE cohort study

2018

National audience; Background and Aims: To describe added sugar, salt and fat uses and their determinants during complementary feeding (CF) period in infants aged 3 to 10 months. Methods: Data are drawn from the ELFE study (Etude longitudinale Française depuis l'Enfance) which included >18000 infants in 2011. A frequency food questionnaire of consumption of added sugar, salt and fat was monthly completed by the mother from the 3rd to the 10th month (N=10,649). The associations between the use of each added-ingredient and (1) socio-economic characteristics and (2) infant care and feeding practices were studied with two models (the second including the factors of the first) with multivariate …

Maternal and paternal feeding practices: links with child eating behaviors and effects of couples' concordant/discordant practices

2021

International audience; Past research has mainly focused on mothers' feeding practices. This study aimed to study (1) gender differences in parental feeding practices, and (2) the impact of couples' concordant/discordant food parenting practices on child eating behaviors. To do so, both parents of 105 French children aged 2.01-6.51 years (51.4% boys, Mage= 3.88 years, SD=1.40) filled in a survey with items from validated questionnaires. Results showed that fathers and mothers had similar perceptions about their child's eating behaviors (Pearson correlations between 0.34 and 0.78; M=0.60), despite fathers taking significantly fewer meals with their child than mothers. Fathers reported using …

Appréciation d'un aliment nouveau et contrôle de la prise énergétique chez l'enfant : Impact de l'apprentissage

2013

In a context of high rate of obesity, understanding early formation of child eating behaviour, in qualitative and quantitative terms, is crucial. This work shows that new vegetable acceptance is positively associated with the introduction of variety since the beginning of the complementary feeding, and would be more difficult in 2 year old children. Moreover, the liking of a new food (vegetable or beverage) increases after familiarisation by repeated exposure. A transitional association between the new food and calories induces more stable liking than repeated exposure. However, a high energy density could limit intake of the new food by learned satiation. This result supports an ability of…
