This is the first validated scale currently available for recording sleep-time feeding practices of children less than three years of age. This 28-item scale can be applied as a potential clinical scale to record sleep-time feeding history and the risk of developing ECC as well as a research scale to investigate the association of sleep-time feeding practices with ECC.
