- A wide range of food motivated behaviors have been associated with higher weight status among young children [13, 14], including parent report of children’s enjoyment of food and food responsiveness [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] as well as direct observations of eating in the absence of hunger [21, 22, 23, 24].
Mothers from food insecure households, when compared to mothers from food secure households, showed significantly greater levels of concern about their children’s weight and used restrictive feeding practices to a greater extent, but they did not differ significantly in their weight status.

Findings on associations between parenting and child or infant weight and dietary intakes were generally suggestive of maternal feeding behaviours being in reaction to children’s weight status [44, 65]. Parents with heavier children used more restriction [72, 73] and less pressure to eat [44, 65, 72] reflecting findings in samples of mixed SEP and ...
Of the included studies assessing the importance of children’s diet, there was evidence that consumption of soft drinks [24, 62], was associated with greater weight . Juice consumption was also predictive of greater weight in some [24, 32, 60] studies. There were several contrasting findings, with obese children eating more fruit than non-obese chi...
Results on associations between breastfeeding and weight were mixed. Of the six studies reporting on the relationship between breastfeeding and weight status, only two reported an inverse dose–response relationship between breastfeeding and infant overweight [66, 85] with a minimum duration of three or four months of breastfeeding required. Importa...
The age of introduction to solid foods was also rarely assessed, with only four studies examining this as a predictor of infant adiposity [35, 61, 63, 69]. Just one of these studies, the highest in quality, reported significant associations . In socioeconomically diverse populations, introduction of solid foods before an infant is four months of ag...
There was only one study examining associations between sedentary behaviour or physical activity and children’s weight and both reported significant positive results. The number of hours that children watched TV appeared to be an important correlate of excess weight . Children from disadvantaged backgrounds watch more hours of TV per day than chil...
