Breastfeeding Journeys: Comparing Mothers’ Experiences with Autistic and Neurotypical Infants / Amy A. CAMPBELL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-5 (May 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-5 (May 2026) . - p.1880-1891 Titre : Breastfeeding Journeys: Comparing Mothers’ Experiences with Autistic and Neurotypical Infants Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amy A. CAMPBELL, Auteur ; Julie BARROSO, Auteur ; Mulubrhan MOGOS, Auteur ; Amy WEITLAUF, Auteur ; Sharon M. KARP, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1880-1891 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Breastfeeding is a complex task that requires proficiency at several key developmental skills to feed successfully. It is unclear how Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects an infant’s breastfeeding experience and conflicting reports exist on shortened breastfeeding duration in infants later diagnosed with ASD. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of mothers breastfeeding both their autistic and neurotypical children to better understand the differences in their breastfeeding experiences and maternal and infant factors that contributed to breastfeeding cessation in their autistic child. Twenty-four mothers of an autistic child who had feeding difficulties in the first 12 months of life, initiated breastfeeding, and also had a neurotypical child participated in semi-structured interviews regarding breastfeeding initiation, cessation, and challenges encountered during breastfeeding. Analysis revealed four major themes: (1) the struggle with latch, including infant behavior that hindered latching; (2) breastfeeding challenges, including problematic breastfeeding behavior by the infant; (3) cessation of breastfeeding, including physical symptoms of the infant that lead to breastfeeding cessation; and (4) breastfeeding the neurotypical sibling, including mother’s detection of different breastfeeding behaviors in neurotypical and autistic child. Breastfeeding behaviors described by mothers may indicate early signs of autism including early sensory sensitivity, lack of regulation, repetitive behaviors, and impaired social behaviors. Further research is needed to discern if these breastfeeding behaviors can be used to help identify early signs of autism and employed as additional surveillance for neurodevelopmental concerns at a young age.

Feeding Behaviors in Infants and Toddlers Later Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review / Sharon M. KARP ; Mulubrhan MOGOS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-5 (May 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-5 (May 2025) . - p.1788-1808 Titre : Feeding Behaviors in Infants and Toddlers Later Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sharon M. KARP, Auteur ; Mulubrhan MOGOS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1788-1808 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are five times more likely to have feeding difficulties than neurotypical peers, although the majority of evidence describes feeding difficulty in children age 2 years and older. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the literature on feeding characteristics of children age 0-24 months who were later diagnosed with ASD with an emphasis on the measurement tools used to assess these feeding behaviors. We conducted a systematic review of the literature using PRISMA guidelines. Using selected keywords, a search was conducted using PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases for relevant articles to identify feeding characteristics in infants and toddlers (age 0-24 months) later diagnosed with ASD. Sixteen studies were selected for this review by two independent reviewers. Among the selected studies, feeding difficulties were reported in all infant oral feeding modalities (breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and complementary feeding) by infants later diagnosed with ASD. However, the evidence was conflicting among studies regarding feeding characteristics, such as sucking differences while breastfeeding, use of the spoon with feedings, and preference of solid food texture, that presented in infants later diagnosed with ASD. A lack of consistent measurement of feeding behaviors in infants later diagnosed with ASD contributes to the difficulty in comparison across studies. Future research should focus on developing targeted, validated instruments for measuring feeding difficulty in this population with emphasis on breastfeeding and bottle feeding difficulty.
