“…Research in Latina women suggests that it is important to address feeding practices of the entire family (both adults and children) when developing healthy weight nutrition intervention programs, as cultural beliefs of family members, especially grandmothers, influence the mothers' perception of child weight status and feeding practices [54]. And factors associated in infant overfeeding with Hispanic mothers include nonexclusive breastfeeding, early introduction of solid foods including ethnic foods, and the belief that chubbier infants are healthy infants [55]. While some interventional trials aimed at influencing infant feeding practices or preventing later obesity have had success [56][57][58][59], others have not been as successful [60,61].…”

Objectives To examine the relationship between infant feeding and risk of child overweight and obesity across race and ethnicity in a diverse community-based cohort. Methods 2172 mother baby dyads were drawn from a prospective cohort constructed using data from electronic medical records linked to birth records. The primary exposure was exclusive breastfeeding at 2 months of age; outcome was BMI Z-score and BMI ≥ 85th percentile (overweight and obese) at 4 years of age. Regression models were adjusted for confounding using covariance balanced propensity score and inverse probability weighting. Results At age 4, exclusively breast fed children had lower BMI Z-score (-0.109, SE = 0.048) and a decreased odds of a BMI ≥ 85th percentile (0.832; 95 % CI 0.792, 0.994), when compared to those exclusively formula-fed or had mixed feeding. Race and ethnicity significantly moderated these associations. Sub-population analysis showed the effect was significant for BMI Z-score (p = 0.0002) and BMI ≥ 85th percentile (p < 0.0001) only for children of NH white mothers. For children of NH black mothers exclusive breastfeeding was not associated with a significant difference in BMI Z-score, however there was an increased odds of overweight or obesity (p = 0.0145). Conclusions The protective effect of breastfeeding against early childhood overweight and obesity may differ by race and ethnicity. This suggests that programs aiming to reduce obesity by increasing rates of breastfeeding may have limited impact for some groups and should be coupled with other racially and ethnically focused efforts to encourage healthy feeding practices in infancy and early childhood.

“…[14] Breastfed infants are less likely to become overweight or obese than formula-fed babies. [9] The protective effect of breastfeeding seems attributed at least in part to an increased infant control over the feeding experience.…”

“…Se reseñarán las más relevantes dado que estas muestras comparten algunas características culturales con las de Latinoamérica. En esta línea, destaca la revisión de literatura llevada a cabo por Cartagena et al (2014), en la cual se revisaron cerca de 35 estudios de diversas disciplinas donde se describen las prácticas alimenticias de las madres de origen latinoamericano en los Estados Unidos. De acuerdo estacon esa revisión, se concluye que las madres latinas tienden a ejercer un estilo de alimentación autoritario hacia sus hijos e hijas, caracterizado por alta presión para comer.…”

“…También, se reporta la creencia de que un "bebé que se ve gordito es un bebé feliz y saludable" (Cartagena et al 2014). Una creencia similar fue obtenida por Lindsay et al (2012) en madres argentinas, las cuales reportan que es normal que el niño o niña tenga sobrepeso en sus primeros años de infancia.…”

“…Cartagena et al (2014) indican que en las familias de origen latino se reporta la presencia frecuente de otros miembros de la familia, los cuales suelen incidir en la rutina alimentaria de los niños y niñas. En ocasiones, estos familiares pueden ejercer presión sobre los padres para proporcionar a los niños más o menos cantidad de alimentos, dependiendo de cómo ellos(as) perciban el peso del niño o niña.…”

Prácticas parentales, alimentación saludable y medidas objetivas de composición corporal en la niñez preescolarResumen. El presente trabajo describe la evidencia empírica en cuanto a la relación entre prácticas parentales, alimentación saludable y medidas objetivas de composición corporal en la niñez preescolar en contextos europeos, estadounidenses y latinoamericanos. Se encuentran algunas concordancias en cuanto a la presión y la restricción para comer. Se proponen direcciones para el desarrollo de líneas de investigación en el contexto latinoamericano: a) realización de más estudios, con el fin de confirmar si las relaciones entre las variables de interés se mantienen o cambian; b) realizar estos estudios con muestras aleatorizadas y representativas, con medidas de autoreporte y observacionales, de las prácticas parentales de alimentación; c) exploración del rol mediador y moderador de variables culturales y sociales específicas del contexto latinoamericano.Palabras clave. Alimentación, niñez, peso, IMC, Latinoamérica.Abstract. This paper describes empirical evidence regarding the relationship between parental practices, healthy eating and objective measures of body composition in preschool children in European, American and Latin American contexts. Concordances are noted in terms of pressure and restriction to eat. Directions are proposed for the development of lines of research in the Latin American context: a) conducting more studies in order to confirm if the relations between the variables of interest are maintained or changed; b) conduct these studies with randomized and representative samples, with self-report and observational measures of parental feeding practices; c) exploration of mediator and moderator roles that cultural and social variables specific to the Latin American context have on the relationships between the variables of interest.
