Controlling Baby Appetite

More and more children and getting obese. Most of them are bottle fed babies. Thus there is a need for appetite suppressants at a very young age. However, research shows that breast-fed babies are known to have less tendency to obesity. This is because that babies usually stop feeding well before the breast supply is exhausted. It may have something to do with the changes in the milk during feeding. Pale and watery at the start, it becomes thick and white toward the end, containing, four to five times as much fat and 1.5 times as much protein as at the beginning. Doctors agree that it is possible that the baby gets biochemical clues from the feel of mother’s milk as well as the taste—which could well be important in controlling appetite.  Maybe that’s one reason why Biboy is not overweight because he was breastfed for more than two years.
