4 AAP Recommendation 0-2 years old: no television >2 years old: <2 hours/day of TV and other entertainment media What can you do to support social justice and prevent obesity? Answer: Breastfeeding Support women who live in poverty to breastfeed: it provides equal opportunities for infants to grow and develop optimally. From: Children, Adolescents, and Television (RE0043), Committee on Public Education 4/1/ or more years of breastfeeding Key points for support: Pregnancy Newborn period 3-5 days of age One month old Mother going back to work Resource ding Infant Benefits from Breastfeeding Optimally Reduced Risk of Disease AHRQ, 2007 From: Gartner L, Eidelman A, and Pediatrics Section on Breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk 2005;115; Biological Theories of Why Breastfeeding: Reduces the Risk of Childhood Obesity Infants-studies under way to evaluate: Infants self-regulate at the breast Different feeding patterns & maternal behavior Breastfeeding mothers are less controlling of the child s feeding at one-year Reduced risk for early growth acceleration Leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin considered to play a role Reduces the risk of obesity by 4% for each month of breastfeeding Conclusions The evidence for the association is nearly all epidemiologic, so it is difficult to tease-out true causality. Epidemiologic criteria: temporality, dose-response effects and reasonably good consistency of findings. Biologic explanation is more tentative.
