![]() There is also evidence that it is important how infants are weaned: responsive feeding characterised by sensitive responses to infant cues during feeding fosters healthy eating. There is evidence that it is important what weaning infants are offered: starting exclusively with vegetables is more successful for the promotion of vegetable acceptance than starting with fruits. The weaning period in infancy is an important time for introducing healthy eating patterns that include vegetables to protect children against the development of overweight. Other: Vegetable exposure Behavioral: VIPP-Feeding Infants Other: Control Vegetable Acceptance in Early Childhood Childhood Obesity Childhood Overweight These three groups will be compared to a control group receiving no advice on how to introduce solid foods on children's vegetable intake and liking. Is starting with vegetables most important, or educating parents on their feeding-techniques? And is a combination of both most effective? This study tests which of three interventions is most effective to promote vegetable intake and liking in children up until the age of 3 years: a) a focus on the 'what' (starting with vegetables) b) a focus on the 'how' (listen to your child's cues while feeding) c) a focus on both the 'what' and the 'how'. What is yet unknown is which of these two are more important to promote, to facilitate vegetable liking in young children. Also, it is important that parents know how to feed their children: e.g., paying attention to whether the child is hungry or full is essential, as is not pressuring them to eat. Starting baby's first bites of solid foods with vegetables instead of more sweet tastes like fruits may promote vegetable liking. As many food preferences are learned in the first years of life, teaching children to like vegetables from the very start of eating solid foods is essential. A healthy eating pattern with many vegetables decreases the risk to develop overweight. Overweight and obesity in preschool children is more and more common and predicts overweight in later childhood and adulthood.
