Unfortunately the lead article in BMJ this week says something to the effect
that risk factor for obesity is rapid gain in early infancy :-(  The figures
are probably faulty because I bet they didn't look at feeding method.  Can't
wait to get article, because other research has shown that BF infants aren't
as fat when they are adult.

Back to what's normal for humans and what's not :-(  Unfortunately we have
so messed with the equation that we'll probably never really know what is
normal for the human baby.
