Abstrakt: Obesity is a major public health problem that frequently begins in early childhood and persists into later life. While obesity's multifactorial causes and solutions largely lie outside of the individual and family levels, pediatric clinicians can support families with infants in preventing obesity and promoting long-term health and well-being. They can do so by focusing on counseling during well visits on exclusive breastfeeding, limiting bottle size, delaying solid food introduction, avoiding juice and sugar-sweetened beverages, limiting screen time, and promoting physical activity and healthy sleep.
