Abstract：
(1) Background: Sub-optimal feeding practices and dietary intakes in childhood are associated with poor health outcomes in adulthood. This mixed methods study aims to profile feeding practices, parent perceptions, and dietary diversity in a sample of children aged 0-5 years (n = 29) from Western Sydney, Australia. (2) Methods: In 2019, semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents, exploring their child\'s feeding practices. An online quantitative survey was used to assess children\'s feeding history. Nutrient intakes and dietary diversity scores were assessed using an online 24-h dietary recall. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA, while qualitative data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. (3) Results: The analysis showed that 27.6% of children were exclusively breastfed until 6 months of age and that 62.1% of children were introduced to solids before 6 months. Over 60% of children achieved minimum dietary diversity. The thematic analysis identified four themes, including mothers\' feeding choices, mothers\' perceptions of their children\'s diet, influences on feeding choices, and mothers\' personal experiences. (4) Conclusions: The feeding history of over half the children in this sample indicated non-compliance with Australian and WHO infant feeding guidelines. The thematic analysis revealed various possible influences on parent feeding choices that can be used to inform targeted support.
摘要：
（1）背景：儿童期次优的喂养方式和饮食摄入量与成年期不良的健康结果有关。这项混合方法研究旨在概述喂养方式，父母的看法，以及来自西悉尼的0-5岁（n=29）儿童样本的饮食多样性，澳大利亚。(2)方法:2019年对家长进行半结构化访谈,探索他们孩子的喂养方式。在线定量调查用于评估儿童的喂养史。使用在线24小时饮食回忆评估营养素摄入量和饮食多样性得分。使用描述性统计和单向方差分析对定量数据进行分析，而定性数据采用归纳主题分析法进行分析。（3）结果：分析表明，27.6％的儿童在6个月之前完全母乳喂养，62.1％的儿童在6个月之前被引入固体。超过60%的儿童实现了最低限度的饮食多样性。主题分析确定了四个主题，包括母亲的喂养选择，母亲对孩子饮食的看法，对喂养选择的影响，和母亲的个人经历。（4）结论：该样本中超过一半的儿童的喂养史表明不符合澳大利亚和WHO婴儿喂养指南。主题分析揭示了对父母喂养选择的各种可能影响，可用于提供有针对性的支持。
