Overfeeding in infancy increases the risk for childhood obesity. Why dont parents following our feeding advice? Why do they supplement breastfeeding with formula? Why do they introduce cereal and other foods earlier than we recommend?

Many parents and healthcare providers believe that a quiet, sleeping baby is a good baby and react to the crying and wakeful baby by overfeeding.
