Infant obesity risk is influenced by appetitive traits in the first 3 months. These appetitive traits, food responsiveness (FR) and satiety responsiveness (SR), reflect food approach and avoidance behaviors, respectively. However, little is known about factors that affect FR and SR development during infancy, which may inform novel, effective behavioral interventions for obesity risk. Emerging data indicate that sleep and circadian rhythms are related to appetite in children and adults, although little is known about how…
