ABSTRACT

Accelerated growth during infancy is associated with the development of overweight and obesity later in life. Although this problem is attributed to formula feeding, as opposed to breastfeeding, it is not a rule; it also occurs in exclusively breastfed infants, possibly associated with the maternal diet. Our objective is to discuss an answer to the option of preventing accelerated growth in breastfed infants through the maternal diet. During pregnancy, dietary intake is key to ensure a proper development in uterus, where sources of folate, choline, betaine, vitamins B2, B6 and B12, which participate in one-carbon metabolism, are essential. Hence, we could infer that the consumption of these nutrients by mothers would influence a proper development of breastfed children. In addition, these compounds in breast milk contribute to the composition of the infant gut microbiota, which in turn participates in metabolic processes, including growth and development. Therefore, a diet rich in nutrients participating in one-carbon metabolism in breastfeeding mothers could contribute to a proper infant growth, preventing the development of overweight and obesity in the immediate and longterm future of children.
