Katherine,
Yes I did catch the CNN report that babies of obese mothers consume 20% more
formula and have vigourous fdg style.  They say it must be genetic, as babies
could not have possibly learned this fdg style from parent yet.  I say
perhaps they did, maybe the parents cooed and praised, etc when babe "ate
well".  This encouraged the vigourous fdg style.  I hope this doesn't make
people think that bf will pass on the  tendency to obesity even more so - you
know how people can think.
