Absence of early feeding problems among bulimic women: observations from parental interviews.
Parents of a series of 20 women with bulimia were interviewed about their pregnancies and the feeding patterns and medical status of their daughters during childhood. Few recalled significant feeding problems, although many had regarded their daughters as being overweight or underweight at some earlier time. There was no evidence of a higher than expected rate of medical illness or birth complications in this population.
