CFA assessed the overall goodness of fit of the 5-factor solution (root mean square error of approximation = 0.047; comparative fit index = 0.90; standardized root mean square residual = 0.062); Cronbach’s α assessed the internal consistency reliability of the feeding subscales; EFA assessed individual factor loadings; ICC assessed the test-retest reliability of the feeding subscales among a subsample (n = 33) of the 297 participants. CFA, confirmatory factor analysis; EFA, exploratory factor analysis; ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient.
