Forty-two normal (25th to 75th percentiles of weight for age) and 47 "obese" (above the 90th percentile) infants, 4 to 9 months of age, were compared with regard to energy and macronutrient intake, breast-feeding history, age of introduction of solids, and maternal reliance on external feeding cues. The study failed to reveal characteristic group differences. The current stereotype of the obese infant as one who is overfed, is given solids very young, is not breast fed, and whose mother is not responsive to his satiety signals is challenged. As a result, the nature of current group counseling for the prevention of infantile obesity is questioned.
对42名正常（年龄别体重处于第25至75百分位数）和47名“肥胖”（高于第90百分位数）的4至9个月大婴儿，在能量和常量营养素摄入量、母乳喂养史、开始添加固体食物的年龄以及母亲对外部喂养提示的依赖方面进行了比较。该研究未能揭示出特征性的组间差异。当前将肥胖婴儿刻板地认为是过度喂养、过早添加固体食物、未进行母乳喂养且母亲对其饱腹感信号无反应的这种观念受到了挑战。因此，当前针对预防婴儿肥胖的群体咨询的性质受到了质疑。
