Good work -- from APA guidelines, to the analysis and the treatment of assignment questions. You are fully integrating each week’s concepts into your Individual Assignments.Abstract
There seems to be a discrepancy of when to introduce solids to an infant. Some pediatricians are advising their patient’s parents that it is okay to introduce fruits and vegetables to an infant at four months of age. There are some government agencies that are advising their program participants not to introduce solid fruits and vegetables until six months of age. Who is right and who is wrong? This article is discussing if the introduction of solid foods to an infant could be one of the causes of overweight and obesity in childhood. Six hundred and twenty participants were used in the study. Several telephone interviews were recorded over the course of two years. At 10 years old, 307 of the participant’s height and weight were measured. Postponement introduction of solid foods was associated with reduced odds of being overweight/obese at age 10 years, after controlling for socioeconomic status, parental smoking and childcare attendance.

Study Purpose
The studies were conducted to illustrate a link of overweight and obesity in childhood due to the introduction of solid foods too early in infancy. One issue that has not been measured is the
