Overweight mums have chubby bubs

More early nutritional child abuse.
"Mothers-to-be beware. Women who are overweight during pregnancy may be more likely to have fatter children susceptible to chronic health problems, UNSW research shows.

Research from Professor Margaret Morris, the head of UNSW’s Department of Pharmacology, indicates that obesity in motherhood leads to heavier babies, with more body fat and altered appetite regulators in the brain."
Whatever the reason these kids grow fat, it is preventable.
