This study, called the Mother-Baby Study, is looking at how children's eating behaviors develop. It uses an intervention called the Caloric Compensation Index (COMPX). This involves giving a child either a high-calorie or low-calorie snack (preload) and then seeing how much of a palatable (tasty) snack they eat afterward. Researchers want to see if there's a difference in how much children eat of the tasty snack depending on the preload they received. This study is for children who are already part of a long-term observational study (NCT06039878). The goal is to understand how a child's eating behavior is linked to their mother's feeding behavior and other factors like emotions and attachment. The study plans to enroll 150 children. The current recruitment status is unclear.
