<<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>>

And as some of us can attest to many many years later, Catherine is right
on. Stuffing your child until they could hardly breathe four times a day to
make sure they slept at least 12 hours at night from about 2 weeks of age on
has been a popular method of child-feeding since the 1920s and it isn't going
away fast. We are simply going around in circles with obesity on the rise.....
Betcha if you talked to women in their 40s, 50s and 60s who are obese, you
would find out that is how they were fed.
I know. I'm one of them.
