Maternal dietary intake of total fat, saturated fat, and added sugar is associated with infant adiposity and weight status at 6 mo of age

The Journal of Nutrition May 17, 2021

Nagel EM, Jacobs D, Johnson KE, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for evaluating connections between maternal dietary components during pregnancy and lactation and infant growth and adiposity at 6 mo of age. The prospective, observational Mothers and Infants Linked for Healthy Growth study included 349 mother-infant dyads (100% fully breastfed for 1 mo; 75% to 6 mo). The National Cancer Institute Diet History Questionnaire II was used to collect data on daily fat, fiber, and added sugar intake during the third trimester of pregnancy, as well as at 1 and 3 months postpartum. In addition, intakes were categorized as meeting/exceeding the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Maternal intake of fat and added sugar during pregnancy and lactation were linked to small increases in infant adiposity and relative weight at 6 mo in a predominantly fully breastfeeding cohort of women.
