Abstract
Primary caretakers of infants (6-12 months) will submit a video of a typical mealtime with their infant. We will code videos for infant self-feeding as well as emotion-related behaviors (e.g., crying, laughing). We hypothesize that infants who engage in more self-feeding will display more positive behaviors and fewer negative ones.
