Abstract:
Obesity as a global issue is a serious threat to children's health.To control childhood obesity must begin with effective preventions.Most studies have found that breast milk can protect against childhood obesity.It is recommended that children should be exclusively breastfed for at least 4-6 months.The duration of breastfeeding has some negative correlation with the prevalence of childhood obesity.Increasing the duration of breastfeeding can properly decrease the risk of childhood obesity.
