Abstract
The term Food Neophobia is defined as the unwillingness to eat foods that are new or novel. This behavior generally occurs in early childhood and reaches peak around 2-6 years. Mother’s influence their children’s food preferences and their willingness to eat new foods through applying feeding techniques. Therefore, the current study aims to find out the effect of maternal feeding practices on child’s Food Neophobia.A sample of 396 mothers of pre-school children residing in Karachi were included in the study using convenient sampling technique. Data was collected using interview method and a validated Food Neophobia Scale and Maternal Feeding Practices questionnaire.More than half of the children (59.6%) had higher level of Food Neophobia. Maternal practice of pressuring their children to eat was positively correlated with the Food Neophobia in children (r = 0.176, p = < 0.001), however negative correlation was observed between Food Neophobia and child’s age (r = - 0.451, p = < 0.001). Additionally linear model showed that with increase in pressure feeding practice Food Neophobia in children will decrease by 0.06 (B = -0.06 [95% CI: - 0.09 to -0.04]).Maternal practice of pressure feeding was found to be associated with Food Neophobia in pre-school children However, other maternal practices were inter-correlated, and had no relation with food neophobia. Furthermore, negative moderate correlation existed between pressure feeding and Food Neophobia.
