Associations between children’s dietary patterns, excessive weight gain, and obesity risk: cohort study nested to a randomized field trial
The second semester of life was the most critical period for EWG in childhood, influenced mostly by the consumption of cow's milk added with baby cereal flour and sugar, fruit juice, creamy desserts, and sweet beverages. These findings emphasize the importance of early dietary interventions to promote healthier food choices and prevent EWG during infancy.
