The objective of this paper is to describe patterns of weight change in the six sites of the World Health Organization (WHO) Multicentre Growth Reference Study (MGRS) and explore variables that explain variation in weight change within and between sites. Mothers of 1743 breastfed children enrolled in the MGRS had weights measured at days 7, 14, 28 and 42 post\u2010partum, monthly from 2 to 12 months and bimonthly thereafter until 24 months post\u2010partum. Height, maternal age, parity and employment status were recorded and breastfeeding was monitored throughout the follow\u2010up. Weight change patterns varied significantly among sites. Ghanaian and Omani mothers lost little or gained weight post\u2010partum. In Brazil, India, Norway and USA, mothers on average lost weight during the first year followed by stabilization in the second year. Lactation intensity and duration explained little of the variation in weight change patterns. In most sites, obese mothers tended to lose less weight than normal\u2010weight mothers. In Brazil and Oman, primiparous mothers lost about 1\u2003kg more than multiparous mothers in the first 6 months. In India and Ghana, multiparous mothers lost about 0.6\u2003kg more than primiparas in the second 6 months. Culturally defined mother\u2010care practices probably play a role in weight change patterns among lactating women. This hypothesis should stimulate investigation into gestational weight gain and post\u2010partum losses in different ethnocultural contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8709.2010.00295.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,22]],"date-time":"2011-02-22T10:46:12Z","timestamp":1298371572000},"page":"228-240","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Post\u2010partum
