This Element explores multi-faceted linkages between feeding and
relationship formation based on ethnographic case studies in
Morocco, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Costa Rica. Research
demonstrates that there are many culturally valued ways of feeding
children, contradicting the idea of a single universally optimal
feeding standard. It demonstrates further that in many parts of the
world, feeding plays a central role in bonding and relationship
formation, something largely overlooked in current developmental
theories. Analysis shows that feeding contributes to relationship
formation through what we call proximal, transactional, and distal
dimensions. This Element argues that feeding practices can lead to
qualitatively distinct forms of relationships. It has important
theoretical and practical implications, calling for the expansion
of attachment theory to include feeding and body-centered
caregiving and significant changes to global interventions
currently based on 'responsive feeding.' This title is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
