Preventing Obesity from Infancy

Research on the prenatal period and first year of life point to clues to reduce obesity in women and preventing it in children. The researchers pointed to excessive gestational weight gain, maternal smoking during pregnancy, fewer months of breastfeeding and shorter duration of sleep during infancy as potential targets. Factors associated with increased risk for overweight or obesity in infancy and early childhood include excessive maternal weight gain or smoking during gestation, maternal depression shorter-than-recommended duration of breast-feeding, and suboptimal amounts of sleep during infancy.
