Abstract
Many factors influence feeding practices, such as socioeconomic status, cultural beliefs, and educational background. This study aimed to identify the factors that influence parents' eating habits in Puncak Alam, Selangor. A comprehensive feeding practices questionnaire (CFPQ) was used for data collection. A total of 201 participants responded to the questionnaire. Working mothers and non-working mothers were found to significantly influence emotion regulation and restriction for weight control feeding practices. By understanding the factors involved, efforts can be made to create a positive and sustainable nutrition environment for children in Puncak Alam, Selangor.
