Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool - Bottle-feeding (NeoEAT - Bottle-feeding)

In this study of 441 infants under 7 months old, we identified the factor structure of the Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool (NeoEAT)- Bottle-feeding and established evidence of adequate psychometric properties. The NeoEAT – Bottle-feeding is a 64-item parent-report measure of symptoms of problematic bottle-feeding. There are 5 subscales. The NeoEAT – Bottle-feeding has evidence of adequate internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and known-groups validity. The NeoEAT – Bottle-feeding can be used for clinical practice and research.
