TL;DR: Lower maternal age, lower maternal educational level, absence or shorter duration of breastfeeding, parental conviction that “my child always wants to eat when he/she sees someone eating” and not attending day-care were independently associated with both early introduction of complementary feeding and the consumption of non-recommended foods.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the use of the additional interventions will result in a healthier lifestyle of preschool children and an improved BMI and less development of overweight and obesity compared to usual care.

TL;DR: The BeeBOFT study concludes that the E-health4Uth Healthy Toddler intervention may be useful for pediatric health care professionals in terms of providing parents with personalized information regarding their child’s health-related behaviors.

TL;DR: Relatively, few longitudinal studies have evaluated the association between sleep and body mass index (BMI) among younger children, and the bidirectional longitudinal associations between sleep duration and child BMI are poorly evaluated.

TL;DR: Infants with lower SES had an increased weight gain during the first 6 months of infancy, and the effect can be explained by infant birth weight, gestational age at child birth, duration of breastfeeding, and age at introduction of complementary foods.
