In fact, no studies have concluded a relationship between infant formula feeding and obesity. So, what causes can the baby be obese, and how to limit it? Please follow up in this article
First and foremost, an interesting piece of information that may be of interest to mothers, is that many studies have made clear claims that breastfeeding reduces the risk of obesity. Even the Let's move project led by America's First Lady, Michelle Obama, aimed at reducing childhood obesity has used similar research results.
But besides nutritional sources such as breast milk or formula, we can not ignore other factors affecting the obesity status of the baby such as genetic and environmental factors.
And with that is the unhealthy habits. For example, there are mothers who bottle-feed their babies with the only encouragement to "drink them all" instead of paying attention to their baby's real nutritional needs. Having to complete all the mixed milk makes the child lose his sense of fullness - his natural hunger.
Parents may also be over-feeding their babies for a variety of reasons. You may not be able to discern the actual signs of hunger in your baby and immediately bring in a large, warm bottle. Or you missed the baby's signs of fullness. Once the baby is full, the baby will no longer suck the milk but switch to biting the head, or turn his head to the side and leave the nipple. This "nonchalance" inadvertently fueled obesity.
Another bad habit is that moms or dads often give babies a bottle of milk and drink them until they fall asleep. This increases the risk of obesity and tooth decay. To prevent child obesity, you need to adjust your diet rather than blame the nutrition source.
To avoid obesity, parents can apply some fairly simple advice about nutrition and lifestyle. First of all, avoid too early and excessive solids when your baby is less than 6 months old. Next, use milk and water as the main or the only drink for your baby, and minimize fruit juice as sugar is the main cause of obesity. Finally, you need to make sure that your baby gets plenty of exercise instead of just sitting still in a chair or swing.
