Nursing Kids To Health–Trimness

November 20th, 2006

After conducting a study involving more than 15,000 boys and girls ages 9 to 14, the University of South Carolina recently reported that those who were breastfeed during the first year of life were less likely to become obese when they grew older–regardless of whether their mothers were overweight.  Why is that?  Researchers believe that one reason is because breastfed babies stop eating when they’re full, as opposed to babies who are bottle-fed and may be encouraged to finish what’s in the feeding bottle.
