Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Feeding/eating problem is one of the most common behavioral problems in children. There is no qualified eating/feeding problems assessment scale to recognize infant/children feeding behavior problems between the ages of infancy and early childhood in our country. The aim of this research was to develop reliable and valid and suitable scales for our population to evaluate children eating behaviours between 9-36 months and 37-72 months.
