see chapter 5:
(executive summary)
"Breastfeeding and nutrition in childhood
* Children who had been breastfed had a healthier diet in childhood than
those who had not been breastfed.
* Children who were breastfed were more likely to snack on fruit (a
difference of 11% between those who were breastfed and those who were not),
and more likely to snack on savoury snacks like cheese than children who
were never breastfed (again,
a difference of 11%).
* Children who were breastfed were also less likely to snack on crisps
between meals.
* Children who had not been breastfed were more likely to eat sweets (a
7% difference) and more likely to consume sugary drinks more than once a day
than breastfed children (14% difference).
* There was a socio-economic effect related to children's breastfeeding
history. Children of wealthier households, born to mothers with more
qualifications and more advantaged socio-economic backgrounds were more
likely to be breastfed.
* A child's breastfeeding history seems to have a significant, yet small,
effect on the child's BMI in later childhood. Children who had been
breastfed were marginally more likely (by 3%) to have a 'normal' weight, and
marginally less likely (by 3%) to be obese."
