Employing a methodological approach, the study encompassed 202 mothers whose infants were aged between 0 and 6 months. Data collection took place from December 2022 to January 2023, utilizing the Parent Demographic Questionnaire and BEBQ. Statistical analysis incorporated descriptive statistics, assessing reliability through Cronbach's alpha, test-retest, and item-total score analysis. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted, revealing 18 items across 4 sub-dimensions, explaining 58.3% of total variance. The scale demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.81, while Confirmatory Factor Analysis validated the model with a Root Mean Square Error of Approximation at 0.074. Test-retest results exhibited a strong correlation (Pearson Correlation of 0.97, p < 0.001). The adapted BEBQ serves as a valid, reliable tool for evaluating infant feeding behavior in the Turkish context.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEating Disorders; Eating Behaviour; Infants; Pediatric; ValidityArticle10.1080/09603123.2023.2276359N/AWOS:0010955002000012-s2.0-8517560982737910597Q2
