Many parents are concerned about the weight of there babies. In March of 2009, Elsie Taveras assistant professor in the HMS Department of Ambulatory Care and co-director of the One Step Ahead clinic, a pediatric overweight prevention program at Children’s Hospital she stated that “there is increasing evidence that rapid changes in weight during infancy increase children’s risk of later obesity." Measures of length and weight together reflect body fatness better than weight only. For more information about the study please see the article Infant weight gain linked to childhood obesity.
