Comparisons between breastfeeding versus formula feeding women showed a significant time-effect of breastfeeding on maternal weight loss between 2 and 24 months postpartum, with a mean 2 kg greater weight loss in breastfeeding mothers. EBF during the first three months postpartum could improve maternal weight loss. In contrast, other studies have shown that an intervention to promote breastfeeding was not associated with infant BMI or triceps skinfold thickness at 6.5 years and the risk of overweight at 4 years and 11 years was not related to total or predominant breastfeeding duration. Some studies have reported a lower risk of obesity in breastfed versus formula fed children at 42 months (AOR 0.78 95% CI 0.7–0.85), at school age (AOR = 0.75 95% CI 0.57–0.98) and during adolescence (OR = 3.37), after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and parental obesity. However, the role of breastfeeding in obesity prevention remains controversial. The WHO recommends EBF until six months of age and breastfeeding with adequate complementary feeding up to 2 years of age or more. Several modifiable factors during the first thousand days (from conception to two years of age) are associated with obesity risk later in life including excess pre-pregnancy weight, excessive weight gain during pregnancy, infant sleep deprivation, formula feeding, high infant protein intake and lower duration of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF).
