Pediatric weight management expert Lydia Tinajero-Deck agrees. She says the
training should start earlier - in utero. She sees patients as young as 15
months in the hospital's Healthy Hearts weight management program.
"Pregnant women must have a healthy diet and not gain more than the
suggested weight," she says. She also advocates for exclusive breast-feeding
in those first six months because it is easier to watch for satiation cues,
and it's one person tracking the feedings. "When you use a bottle, different
people have different judgment," she says.

"We're just not seeing them (babies) thin out anymore, especially the
bottle-fed ones," Tinajero-Deck says. "It's part of a societal shift. We've
become sedentary and rely on processed foods because they're cheaper and
easier to feed to kids. I'm not saying a child should never have a cookie,
but I see toddlers coming in with orange soda in their bottles. And that's
not OK."
Locally, there are many more overweight pre-schoolers. Besides early diet,
I bet they don't get outside to play either--that takes adult supervision.
