Abstract: Objective To learn the actual information on infant feeding behavior in urban area of Beijing and to find out the major issues of infant feeding behavior in urban area and to discuss the reasons affecting infant feeding behavior. A major method was adopted in this research with firsthand observation, which involved video recording technique to catch the feeding behavior of 48 infants aged 6～12 months in urban area of Beijing, and then general family conditions, feeding knowledge and attitudes of caregivers were investigated by profound interview. There were some problems of feeding behavior, such as unreasonable feeding place, inappropriate feeding surrounding, too fast or too slow feeding frequency, no chance for baby to learn eating, and lack of interaction skill, etc. 60% caregivers didn’t describe the character of food and scene of feeding because they didn’t know whether it was good to baby or not. [Conclusions] There are many problems of infant feeding behavior in urban areas, including feeding place, feeding speed, feeding environment and interaction between caregivers and infants, etc. The main reasons for these problems are that the caregivers lack feeding knowledge, especially interaction skills. Different ways are needed to spread feeding behavior knowledge to improve the feeding behavior.
