VLBW caregivers self-reported more coercive feeding than term-born caregivers, but no differences were observed during the videorecorded standardized lunch. More VLBW children had high nutrition risk (32%) than term-born peers (13%; p=0.02), but there was no difference in diet quality nor prevalence of underweight, overweight, or obesity.
