Infant Feeding Patterns and Oral Habits of Overweight and Underweight Children

ROBERT W. HILLMAN M.D.1

1 From the Department of Environmental Medicine and Community Health, State University of New York, College of Medicine at New York City, Brooklyn, New York

Infant feeding patterns and related "oral attributes" were studied in overweight and unedrweight children attending a public health nutrition clinic.

Overweight and underweight children did not differ significantly in respect to the following: (1) the frequency of breast feeding or demand feeding; (2) age of weaning; (3) milk, candy and chewing gum consumption; or (4) persistence of thumb-sucking.

Infant feeding patterns in some instances appeared more closely related to ethnic group than to body weight status during childhood.

Differences between overweight and underweight children were suggested in respect to breakfast eating habits, birth weight and birth rank but not to month to birth.
