Abstract
⺠We examined maternal autonomy as a determinant of feeding practice and infant growth in India. ⺠Autonomy could potentially influence self-motivation to bring about positive behavior processes. ⺠Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to develop multiple dimensions of maternal autonomy. ⺠Individual domains of autonomy could operate differently to influence child growth and well-being.
