A study published on Feb. 25 2011 in the journal Diabetes Care finds that women who had diabetes during pregnancy can avoid having their baby become obese by breast feeding. Researchers looked at data from 89 children who had been exposed to diabetes in utero and from 379 children whose mothers did not have diabetes during pregnancy.
Lead by Dr. Dana Dabelea, an associate professor at the Colorado School of Public Health, researchers found that of the babies whose mothers had diabetes, if they were breast-fed they were no more likely to become obese between the ages of 6 and 13 than were the babies of Moms who did not have diabetes.
Data Suggests That Breast-Feeding Helps Mitigate Obesity Risk
The study, 'Long-Term Impact of Neonatal Breastfeeding on Childhood Adiposity and Fat Distribution Among Children Exposed to Diabetes In Utero' said its goal was to "...evaluate whether breastfeeding attenuates increased childhood adiposity (obesity) associated with exposure to diabetes in utero." The data they used was based upon mother's self-reporting their breast-feeding habits with their babies.
"Our data suggests breast-feeding promotion may be an effective strategy for reducing the increased risk of childhood obesity in offspring of mothers with diabetes during pregnancy," Dr. Dabelea wrote in a news release from the American Diabetes Association. The study found six months or more of breast-feeding baby to be the time necessary to achieve the best results.
Type 2 Diabetes Risk Reduced with Breast-Feeding
There are other reasons for Moms who had diabetes during their pregnancy to breast-feed baby, and Dr. Dabelea notes one suggested by their study. "Since childhood obesity and in utero exposure to maternal diabetes have both been associated with later development of type 2 diabetes, it follows that breast-feeding these children may also help reduce their future risk for developing type 2 (diabetes)," she said.
The research paper says the carbohydrates, fat and proteins in breast-milk, and other substances in breast-milk, which the breast-feed babies get and the non-breast feed babies do not get, play a role in the regulation of body fat and lead to the results the study found. As in other cases of benefits found in breast-milk, formula cannot duplicate the materials in breast-milk and therefore cannot duplicate the results.
Past Research: Childhood Obesity Linked to Diabetic Mothers
Past research has shown babies born to mothers who had diabetes during their pregnancy had a higher risk of becoming obese during childhood.
