New paper out in Appetite👇🏼

Seeing your name as an author of a paper feels incredibly surreal - a dream come true for sure 🥹 Our paper on an 'Approach to Complementary Feeding and Infant Language Use: An Observational Study' is out now! doi.org/10.1111/mcn.13…

Delighted to see this labour of love published. We find that more infant-led experiences with complementary feeding are associated with greater infant vocalisations at mealtimes- a relationship mediated by parent language use. ⁦PEACh Research Aston⁩ ⁦ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mc…

It was a real pleasure to come back to Birmingham and see the whole team again PEACh Research Aston 🥰 Attending the final project conference was incredible. I will definitely take APPETItE as a reference ♥️ I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon ♥️
