Both parental overweight and low parental education were significantly higher among overweight than normal-weight children. The total energy intake was significantly higher in overweight than in normal-weight children at 12\u201335 months of age. Compared with normal-weight children, significantly fewer overweight children were breast-fed for at least 4 months. Overweight children were also more likely to have been introduced to infant formula and semi-solid foods during the first 4 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980008003509_abs5\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Early prevention strategies should include feeding practices identified as putting children at risk of obesity.
