Early‐life determinants of overweight and obesity: a review of systematic reviews (2010, background): “This approach is becoming increasingly common to summarize the extensive scientific knowledge on widely explored research topics (13–15), and has already been used for the association between infant feeding and obesity (16).”
Expansions in Maternity Leave Coverage and Children's Long-Term Outcomes (2012, background): “Breastfeeding has been associated with protection against, for instance, diarrhea, asthma, sudden death syndrome, and leukemia, as well as with the enhancement of the child’s cognitive development; see e.g., Ip et al. (2007) and León-Cava et al. (2002) for extensive evidence.”
Australian Dietary Guidelines (2006, background): “Breastfed infants grow more slowly than formula-fed infants [861].”
