This study, called the Mother-Baby Study, is looking at how children's eating behaviors develop. Researchers will observe how children eat palatable (tasty) foods after they've already had a full meal. This intervention is called "Eating in Absence of Hunger." The study aims to understand how a child's emotions, their bond with their mother, and their eating habits are connected, and how this relates to the mother's feeding style, the child's eating, and their body fat. To join, your child must already be participating in a separate long-term observational study (NCT06039878). The main goal is to measure how many calories children consume during the "Eating in Absence of Hunger" task, up to about 36 months of age. The current recruitment status is unclear.
