Participants in this group will receive a 4-week online occupational therapy-based parent training via secure Zoom sessions. The training focuses on feeding skills development, sensory strategies, parenting attitudes, and stress management. Participants will complete assessments at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months using standardized tools to evaluate infant feeding behavior, parental attitudes, and parenting stress

Participants in this group will not receive any intervention during the study period. They will complete the same assessments as the intervention group at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months to monitor changes in infant feeding behavior, parental attitudes, and parenting stress.

The intervention is a 4-week online parent training program based on occupational therapy principles, delivered via secure Zoom sessions once per week. Each session lasts approximately 60-75 minutes and focuses on topics such as feeding skill development, sensory-based feeding difficulties, responsive parenting strategies, and stress management techniques. The training includes interactive discussions and practical suggestions for daily feeding routines. Supporting materials, such as PDF slides and short demonstration videos, are shared with participants after each session. Attendance in at least three sessions is required to remain in the study.

The Infant Adaptive Feeding Behavior Scale (IAFBS) was developed by Dilsiz and Dağ in 2018 to assess the eating behaviors of children aged 9 to 36 months. The scale consists of 20 items and four factors: "Reluctance," "Resistance," "Reaction to Main Meal Structure," and "Sensory-Related Food Refusal." Items 1-8 measure the reluctance factor; items 9-12 measure resistance; items 13-16 assess reactions to meal structure; and items 17-20 evaluate food refusal related to sensory issues.

Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "Never" to "Always," scored as follows: never = 1, rarely = 2, sometimes = 3, usually = 4, always = 5. However, item 2 ("reaches spontaneously for food during meals") reflects a positive feeding behavior and is reverse-scored. All other items are scored in the standard direction.

The total score ranges from 20 to 100. Higher total and subscale scores indicate more severe feeding behavior problems in infants aged 9 to 36 months.

This scale was developed in 2018 by Dilsiz and Dağ with the aim of identifying problematic areas in maternal attitudes during the feeding process, based on the interactional dimension of feeding between the mother and child. The Feeding Process Parental Attitude Scale (FPPAS) is used to assess the feeding-related attitudes of mothers with children aged 9 to 72 months. It is a 5-point Likert-type scale with response options ranging from "Never" to "Always." The scale consists of 27 items and includes the following subscales: Negative Emotional State During Meals, Attitudes Toward Inadequate/Unbalanced Nutrition, Negative Feeding Strategies, Forceful Feeding, and Reaction to Others' Opinions. The total score ranges from 27 to 135. Higher scores on the total scale and subscales indicate a greater presence of problematic maternal attitudes regarding the feeding process.
