Abstract
⺠Child feeding practices of Chinese and Korean American immigrants were influenced by their early material deprivation and current acculturation. ⺠Less acculturated parents' early life food insecurity predicted desires for more heavy children and children's soda/sweets consumption. ⺠Less acculturated parents' early material deprivation predicted more laissez-faire child feeding practices. ⺠Thus, child feeding practices and beliefs are shaped by parents' childhood material hardship, which fade with acculturation.
