Abstract
Objective To explore the relationship between physical growth of infants and family feeding be -havior.Methods Demographic information was collected from 516 objects.Height,weight,head circumference,chest circumference were measured and feeding behavior was evaluated using prospective observational study method . Results （1） Feeding behavior score was positively associated with infant physical development indicators ,the be-tween groups differences of infant age ,body weight,body length were statistically significant （P〈0.05）.（2）The re-sults of Pearson correlation analysis showed that weight , head circumference of infants at 18 months and length at 24 months were significantly correlated with feeding behavior score （P〈0.05）.（3）The analysis of feeding behavior factors found that food preparation was associated with weight infants at 18 months（P〈0.05）;behavior of infants and height,weight,head circumference,chest circumference of children in the 18 months of age were related（P〈0.05）;infant feeding environment in the 18-month-old was related with their height,weight,head circumference（P〈0.05）.
