eating
Ingestion of solid food, including chewing & swallowing.
Notes:
- self-feeding & spoon feeding of infants results in similar incidents of choking [2]
- early infant self-feeding may be strategy to allow babies to self-regulate caloric intake & reduce childhood obesity [2]
- infant self-feeding does not reduce risk of obesity [3]
