Longer sleep duration during infancy and toddlerhood predicts weight normalization among high birth weight infants

[摘要] Study ObjectivesHigh birth weight (HBW; ≥ 4000 g) is strongly associated with later overweight, yet little is known about how to disrupt this trajectory. The current study examined sleep practices during infancy and toddlerhood among children born HBW or normal birth weight (NBW; 2500–3999 g).
