A member asked:
Do exclusively nursed babies weigh less than formula fed babies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and Yes: They weigh more early in the first six months of life, then typically less by a year of life. More importantly, they then weigh less for the rest of their life. Breastfed babies have lower obesity rates for life, that is.
