| Abstract | Background: Variations in child growth are explained by a myriad of factors including nutrition, hygiene and other environmental determinants. Feeding behaviors (responsive and non-responsive) are known to influence the development of eating behaviors and subsequent nutritional status. Limited knowledge exists about how responsive and nonresponsive feeding behaviors in rural Bangladesh may influence child dietary intake and growth. Objective: This dissertation research aims to characterize young child feeding in rural northwestern Bangladesh, and assess the relationship between caregiver feeding behaviors and diet and growth at 24 months. |
