Abstract

Breast feeding is considered to offer optimal nutrition for healthy growth and development of infants.In recent years,the observational studies have shown breast feeding may prevent the occurrence of childhood obesity.However,some breast-fed infants especially exclusively breast-fed have excessive weight gain.The influences contributing to high weight gain and effects on the long-term health development are followed.This article summarizes the risk factors and prognosis of excessive weight gain in breast-fed infants.It shows the high level of protein content,the high levels of insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1),ghrelin,leptin,and oligosaccharide diversity in breast milk may be the risk factors for obesity in breast-fed children.Feeding behaviors,such as feeding breast milk by bottle,more feeding times at night,long duration and short interval in feeding,might be related to obesity in breast-fed children.Researches have shown overweight or obesity in infancy would increase the risk of childhood obesity whether they are breastfed or formula fed.
