BACKGROUND
Evidence relating to the effect of early weaning on infant weight and weight gain is conflicting. The aim of this paper is to compare weight and weight gain in two groups of infants; one group weaned before 4 months (early weaned), the other weaned at 4 months or after.
METHODS
Feeding practices were assessed through semistructured interviews with mothers of 1-year-old infants. Weight at birth, 8 weeks and 7 months were taken from an administrative database (Child Health System), and an additional measure of weight was taken at 14 months.
RESULTS
Infants weaned early were heavier at 7 and 14 months, and gained more weight between 8 weeks and 14 months, even after breastfeeding was controlled for.
CONCLUSION
Early weaning is related to rapid weight gain in infancy. This may have implications for childhood obesity.
背景
关于早期断奶对婴儿体重及体重增加影响的证据相互矛盾。本文旨在比较两组婴儿的体重及体重增加情况；一组在4个月前断奶（早期断奶），另一组在4个月或4个月后断奶。
方法
通过对1岁婴儿母亲进行半结构化访谈来评估喂养方式。出生时、8周和7个月时的体重数据来自行政数据库（儿童健康系统），并在14个月时额外测量一次体重。
结果
即使在对母乳喂养进行控制后，早期断奶的婴儿在7个月和14个月时体重更重，且在8周龄至14个月期间体重增加更多。
结论
早期断奶与婴儿期体重快速增加有关。这可能对儿童肥胖有影响。
