Contrary to the age-old belief that babies should be fed after every few hours, a new study claims that paying attention to their demands for food can rather check obesity later in life.
By contrast, following grandmother’s golden rule of feeding babies only after every four hours can fuel the obesity epidemic in growing kids.
The study, carried out by researchers at the Queensland University Technology in Brisbane, Australia, found that babies are born with a sense of how much food they need and naturally stop eating when they are full.
