Brief Summary
- Feeding and growth during infancy have been associated with later life body mass index.
- Breastfeeding seems to have a small but consistent protective effect against obesity in children.
- The Cholesterol content of human milk is 6-fold greater than that of the standard infant formulas.
- Infants delivered by caesarean section may be at increased risk of childhood obesity and adulthood obesity.
