Infant Complementary Feeding: New Directions in Research.

The transition from milk to complementary feeding requires adult sensitivity to infant signals of hunger and satiety. It is well-known that infants accept foods more willingly at specific times during infancy, called sensitive periods; these periods correspond to a time frame during which infant experiences will influence the development of later food preferences as well as willingness to eat.

Dr Cristina Costantini is a Teaching Fellow in Psychology at Oxford Brookes University. In this talk, Cristina will present her current research on infant complementary feeding, which explores maternal feeding behaviours, mother-infant interactions, and infant food acceptance.

The talk will be held in the function room at the Wig & Pen pub, George Street, which is wheelchair accessible.

Psychologist in the Pub talks are completely free, and open to all; British Psychological Society members and non-members, so please join us for the evening. No booking required.
