Sucking behavior in typical and challenging feedings in association with weight gain from birth to 4 Months in full-term infants: Sucking and Weight Gain in Infancy
2020, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless, the pattern of findings suggests that infants who maintain a large volume of intake per individual suck even when sucking becomes more challenging have future greater prospective rate of weight gain. Our inclusion of an experimental condition in which the infant was faced with a challenge to sucking provides unique information and adds to the prior literature reporting associations between sucking vigor and weight gain (Agras et al., 1987, 1990; Stough et al., 2018; Stunkard et al., 2004). Our study findings differed from the single prior study we were able to identify that examined how infants of differing weight status differentially responded to making it more difficult to feed (Nisbett & Gurwitz, 1970).
Greater analgesic effects of sucrose in the neonate predict greater weight gain to age 18 months
2020, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :Eating behavior is a likely contributor to differential rates of weight gain. Infants with a vigorous sucking pattern (Agras, Kraemer, Berkowitz, & Hammer, 1990; Agras, Kraemer, Berkowitz, Korner, & Hammer, 1987; Waterland, Berkowitz, Stunkard, & Stallings, 1998), and whose mothers rate them as having a “big appetite” (Llewellyn, van Jaarsveld, Johnson, Carnell, & Wardle, 2010) gain more weight in infancy. Our findings suggest that newborn analgesic response to intraoral sucrose may be an additional behavioral indicator of risk for rapid infant weight gain.
