Abstract
  • The objective of the current study is therefore two-fold. First, we seek to assess the prevalence of maternal body dissatisfaction among a cohort of non-Hispanic black women early in the postpartum period, at 3- and 6-months of infant age. Second, we seek to determine the associations between maternal body dissatisfaction and infant feeding style at these two time points. We hypothesize that mothers dissatisfied with their current body size will have lower mean scores on the domain of responsive feeding style and higher mean scores on one or more of the domains of non-responsive feeding style, as compared to mothers who are content with their current body size.
