Because the first years of life are important to health and well-being throughout the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of obesity in children and adults. The report recommends that health care providers make parents aware of their child's excess weight early on. It also suggests that parents and child care providers keep children active throughout the day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time, and ensure children get adequate sleep.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2012.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aObesity in childrenzUnited StatesxPrevention. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aBirch, Leann L.1 aBurns, Annina Catherine.1 aParker, Lynn.2 aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).bCommittee on Obesity Prevention Policies for Young Children.2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10520724zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c237834d237834
