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.
