Feeding practices during infancy

Feeding practices during infancy assesses the mother's feeding practices during infancy, including breastfeeding, bottle feeding and introduction to solid foods.

The Generation R measurement wave at 2 months includes items about the type of feeding (breastfeeding and bottle feeding), the brands of bottle feeding, the amount and the frequency of feeding, the child's eating habits, the child's bowel movement routine, and vitamins/minerals use since birth. The measurement wave at 6 months includes items about the frequency and duration of breastfeeding, type, brand and frequency of bottle feeding, type of food and age of introduction to food, and extra vitamins or minerals that the child has taken.
