I agree regarding controlling parental feeding style (the 'clearign your plate' idealogy of previous generations) butsome parents introduce solids early simply becuase their child will not be satisfied he he bottle (or breast) and becomes hungry every hour to hour and half.

Other risk factors for childhood obesity which are researched based include not breastfeeding, early solids, inappropriate solids, and controlling parental feeding style.

We have forgotten a couple of obvious ones. Parents who don't know the benefit of people diet (lifestyle) for themselves and their offspring and another major one. Children who are not thought to evaluatre and express feelings. Many people who know all about diet and exercise still use food as an emotional crutch or to manage their feelings or in response to stress.
