Why we cite it
Reviews evidence on how early learning during the first 2 years of life influences food preferences and eating behavior. Highlights that this critical transition period lacks evidence-based guidance (US Dietary Guidelines begin at age 2) and that parenting and feeding approaches during infancy can facilitate or impede self-regulation and food acceptance.
