Transcript of Obesity from mother to child
Poor nutrition and stress can lead to
transgenerational programming,
resulting in obesity
Obesity from mother to child
Influencing factors
The ‘first 1,000 days’ are the most important window in the programming of health and disease
PRENATAL POSTNATAL
The risk of obesity in childhood, and later in life,may be influenced by pre-and postnatal factors

Duration of breastfeeding is not long enough
Even when breastfed, children of overweight
mothers haveaccelerated growth
The impact of maternalhealth on the development
of the fetal system
The impact of early environmental factors in the
infant's development
Traditional formulas have higher level of protein compared with breast milk

Improvement in maternal health, including weight
control and nutrition, might provide an intergenerational solution for the obesity and
diabetes epidemic

Long-duration breastfeeding, or use of low-protein infant formula when
breastfeeding isn't possible, alongside appropriate complementary feeding, will help to ensure healthy growth and might reduce the risk of obesity-related non-communicable diseases

General improvement to the mother’s mental and physical health before
and during pregnancy
Control ofweight gain
during pregnancy
Control of weight prior tobecoming pregnant for
overweight mothers
Avoid excessive infant weight gain during first
months of life
Maternal and Early Infancy factors that may impact long-term health
Potential risk reduction
