Maternal body mass index, gestational weight gain, and early childhood growth: A register‐based cohort study
Maternal GWG affects infant birth size and growth until 18 months, although maternal BMI is more crucial for childhood growth beyond 18 months. Further, children of mothers who are normal- or overweight and experience excessive GWG have an increased risk of obesity at 4 years.
