Is more weight gain better in a world where people are getting 
progressively more obese?
Another explanation for greater weight gain in schedule fed infants is 
that when the infant knows it's going to be a looong time before he gets 
access to food again, he is likely to gorge himself, setting up a 
pattern that can lead to a disordered relationship to food for life. 
There are studies that show that self-regulation leads to more normal 
weights in childhood, whereas parental control (either coaxing to eat 
more or restriction of food) leads to obesity.
