Because the first years of life are important to health and well-being throughout the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of obesity in children and adults. The report recommends that health care providers make parents aware of their child's excess weight early on. It also suggests that parents and child care providers keep children active throughout the day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time, and ensure children get adequate sleep.Obesity in childrenUnited StatesPreventionElectronic books.Obesity in childrenPrevention.618.92398Birch Leann L964749Burns Annina Catherine959509Parker Lynn901263Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee on Obesity Prevention Policies for Young Children.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458042403321Early childhood obesity prevention policies2188885UNINA
