Abstract

In this study, an 18-month-old with apparent anorexic refusal behavior was used as a subject, and observations were recorded while the subject was eating to speculate on the reasons for the emergence of refusal behavior in the baby. The results indicated that the baby's anorexic behavior was greatly influenced in part by the feeder's inappropriate feeding concepts and feeding practices. In this regard, this study analyzed the impact of feeder behaviors on the development of eating habits in infant and made feasible recommendations for improvement.
